Joseph Darda exposes how the post-World War II formation of the Department of Defense and the subsequent Korean War set a course for decades of permanent conflict. Conflict, which the United States, he argues, ingeniously reframed as the defense of humanity from illiberal beliefs and behaviors. Empire of Defense shows how a string of rationales for war from the 1940s to the present-- anticommunism, crime control, humanitarianism, and counterterrorism-- paved the way for unprecedented military growth that secured rather than dismantled the existing racial order. A wide range of writers, filmmakers, and journalists - from I. F. Stone and Ishmael Reed to Stanley Kubrick and June Jordan - have struggled to tell the story of war without end, and Darda reveals how that struggle itself tells the bigger story. He draws a clear line from the Cold War to the War on Terror and makes sense of our collective cultural efforts to recognize the not-so-new normal of nonstop military empire-building. 650 0 $a Racism $z United States. 650 0 $a Militarism $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x History, Military $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History, Military $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Racism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Military history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411630 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021946.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190905043739.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B6BB3BA8CFA311E9B77D544F97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
