Abstract:
Opinions Throughout History: War & the Military looks at the fascinating history of America's military, from the rag-tag militias that fought for American independence in the revolution, to the imperialism of the early 1900s, to becoming the world's most powerful military-industrial complex. Issues discussed include nuclear proliferation, drones and emerging technology, racial and gender equality in the military, and more.
