A military is the most significant tool of a nation's foreign
policy, and (hopefully) the tool of last resort. Yet the control a
civilian leader has over the military is, in many respects, an
encumbered and fractured control. The military's organizational
culture, role in society, size, and considerable autonomy are
potential obstacles to true civilian control over the military even
in peacetime. A brief but historically informed text intended for
students of the presidency or national security, Governing the
Military addresses the gamut of challenges a new U.S. President
faces as commander-in-chief.
