What does this mean?Highlights
Quality
I would highly recommend this book to anyone concerned with the current deadlock in our government
Bacevich has been blessed and has had the privilege of rubbing elbows with the profligate in some nifty profligate neighborhoods
He is especially unhappy with the bush doctrine of preemptive war as should all americans
The third of bacevichs books ive read this reflects the overall disillusion with the status quo in american government
Price
Of course debt issues have their implications for politics
Packaging/appearance
Henry did not get very far with this notion even back in the 1800s
Competitiveness
They also help to explain why american ideas are less and less admired in the world
We all want cheap gasoline cheap goods and cheap foreign imports
He is well versed on american policy our military and our disfunctional politicians
The authors arguments are much more focused and disturbing than the lighter fare in zakarias the postamerican world
