Book Summary
"Fascinating, no matter where you place yourself on the ideological spectrum."--"Wired" Now in paperback, a stunning breakdown of the modern military-industrial complex--an omnipresent, hidden-in-plain-sight system of systems that penetrates all our lives.

Similarly disturbing is the way in which the military, desperate for fresh recruits, has tapped into
