Description

Abridged Edition

"Three quarters of our national budget goes to military expenditures, or 7 per cent of the gross national product; one of four grown men in this country have been in service; one out of 10 in today's working force is employed directly or indirectly by the military. These bare facts are well known, but to catalogue their implications requires a sophisticated, subtle and complex analysis, and this Mr. Yarmolinsky has in good measure given us."

- Richard R. Lingeman, New York Times

"He explores such diverse areas as the impact of the military on civilian dissent, on academic research, on the education, racial attitudes, and class mobility of the servicemen, and on national values...This is a valuable, wide-ranging and penetrating study of a vital subject."

-Daniel I. Davidson, Washington Post
