Against All Terrors: This People's Next Defense

President George W. Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld want to transform the military.

The Pentagon, the Congress, and the bureaucrats want to spend money.

The two are not the same.

Transformation means dragging America's Defense establishment, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century. Transformation takes money. Transformation is about high technology. But it's also about changing organizations, cultures, ways of doing things, and making those changes relevant to the kinds of wars we have to fight. Transformation means that everything should be on the table. Business as usual is a luxury this country cannot afford, and dare not tolerate. Against All Terrors: This People's Next Defense explains why, and what needs to be done. This book is meant for all Americans who want to understand these new challenges and opportunities.
