Reviews / Votes
"This is an excitingly lucid and intelligent work on a subject of staggering impor-tance. It is more than the title suggests for only in part is it a discussion of secur-ity policies in the United States. This is its point of focus, but, more basically, the author is concerned with the social pre-conditions of political democracy with special reference to the American experi-ence. . . . The author's style must be remarked. It is positive, incisive, assiduously nontechnical yet highly sophisticated."-Social ForcesMore details
