Renowned military expert Mark Perry investigates these internal wars and sheds new light on the US military-the most powerful and influential lobby in Washington. He reveals explosive stories, from the secret history of Clinton's "don't ask, don't tell" policy to how the military plotted to undermine Barack Obama's strategy in Afghanistan, to show how internal strife and deep civilian-military animus shapes America's policy abroad, often to the nation's detriment. Drawing on three decades of high-profile interviews, both on and off the record, Perry yields sobering judgments on the tenures of our nation's most important military leaders. The Pentagon's Wars is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the inner workings of the making of America's foreign policy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Pentagon (Va.) $x History. 650 0 $a Civil-military relations $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Civil-military relations $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1989- 941 $a 5 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214023241.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006113144.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180104062034.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20171208010207.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20171121011803.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D4FC383CCE8911E7A8A6BE0D97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
