The Military-Industrial Complex : Eisenhower's Warning Three Decades Later

Thirty years ago Dwight D. Eisenhower, in his farewell address as President, warned of a military-industrial complex; a complex organizational system seemingly beyond the control of citizens and their elected government. With Eisenhower's ideas as inspiration, this book offers a collection of essays that examine various aspects of the U.S. Military-Industrial Complex and the farewell warning. The book reflects an interdisciplinary effort; essays come from such fields as history, economics, sociology, business, and communication.
