Given the extremely high cost of overseas military operations
today, the author offers readers scholarly insights as to what
motivates kingdoms, countries, and groups to engage in religious
conflict, beginning with those found in the Hebrew Bible. To do
this, he analyzes three related religions, Judaism, Christianity,
and Islam, to determine their similarities and differences
regarding the killing of people. The areas of conflict analysis
include Fundamentalism, Proselytization, Sacrifice (to include
martyrdom), and Revenge (to include genocide). The insights of
preeminent religious and political scholars are integrated into
this comprehensive analysis of conflict involving religion, leading
to an answer to the ultimate question: Is the killing worth it?

The theory of organizational institutionalization provides the
basis for optimum efficiency and effectiveness within
organizations. Those that have become institutionalized indicate a
more stable government or a more mature organization. Once an
organization is recognized as an institution, it gains more
legitimacy and authority, leading to greater effectiveness. This
book examines the institutionalization of federal independent
commissions. If the requirement for an independent commission
exists indefinitely, then it is possible for such a commission to
become institutionalized. One example is the base realignment and
closure (BRAe independent commission. As of 2005, Congress
established 5 BRAC commissions to facilitate the realignment and
closure of military bases. The requirement for future BRAC
commissions will likely always exist. Currently, there is no
mechanism to close any military installations within the US. This
book argues that the BRAC commission should be recognized as an
institution requiring legislation permanently establishing it.
Permanent independent commissions, then, would be a new evolution
in the structure of the U.S. government.
