Description: National Insecurity by Melvin A. Goodman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Former CIA analyst reveals why pumping more money into US military spending destabilizes both the economy and long-term national security Publisher Description "Mel Goodman has spent the last few decades telling us whats gone wrong with American intelligence and the American military, and now, in National Insecurity, he tells us what we must do to change the way the system works, and how to fix it. Goodman is not only telling us how to save wasted billions--he is also telling us how to save ourselves." -- Seymour M. Hersh, The New YorkerUpon leaving the White House in 1961, President Eisenhower famously warned Americans about the dangers of a "military industrial complex," and was clearly worried about the destabilizing effects of a national economy based on outsized investments in military spending. As more and more Americans fall into poverty and the global economy spirals downward, the United States is spending more on the military than ever before. What are the consequences and what can be done?Melvin A. Goodman, a twenty-four-year veteran of the CIA, brings peerless authority to his argument that US military spending is indeed making Americans poorer and less secure while undermining our political standing in the world. Drawing from his firsthand experience with war planners and intelligence strategists, Goodman offers an insiders critique of the US military economy from Presidents Eisenhowers farewell warning to Barack Obamas expansion of the militarys power. He outlines a much needed vision for how to alter our military policy, practices, and spending in order to better position the United States globally and enhance prosperity and security at home.Melvin A.
