by Harvey M. Sapolsky Eugene Gholz Caitlin TalmadgeThis new textbook explains how US defence and national security policy is formulated and conducted. Harvey Sapolsky and Eugene Gholz focus on the role of the President, Congress, political partisans, the defence industries, lobbies, and interest groups, including the military itself, in shaping policies.
