Overview
Why are certain weapons acquired in the United States and others not? Theo Farrell addresses this question by examining the strategic, institutional and budgetary issues surrounding four major weapon programmes. Extensive use is made of primary sources in analysing the origins, development and outcomes of these programmes. This book presents alarming evidence to show how the military services manipulate weapons acquisition to suit their own ends rather than national security. It also analyses how Congress, motivated by concerns over cost, comes to play a greater role in shaping programme outcomes once weapons enter production.The book, Weapons without a Cause: The Politics of Weapons Acquisition in the United State [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9781349251117 in Paperback by Theo Farrell may be ordered in bulk quantities.
