Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. x, [2], 303, [5] pages. Figure. Tables. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Gregory M. Hooks (b. 1953) specializes in Sociology, Politics/Government, Regional/Urban planning, and Military/Defense/Arms control. His academic career includes Assistant professor, Indiana University-Bloomington 1985-90; Assistant professor, Washington State University, Pullman 1990-93 and then Associate professor in department of sociology, 1993-. His major publication is Forging the Military-Industrial Complex: World War II's Battle of the Potomac. He also also contributed to professional journals. The United States' economic mobilization for World War II required an industrial planning effort that transformed the nation's state structures and its political economy. As World War II raged overseas, a battle equally critical to the future of American society was being fought on the shores of the Potomac. Gregory Hooks argues convincingly that the modern American state and its emphasis on military power emerged from the crucible of World War II. Hooks shows that as the nation initially mobilized for was it relied on the institutional foundations erected during the New Deal. Ultimately those institutions were consumed by the defense establishment. He asserts that the postwar Defense Department amassed the administrative authority and budgetary resources to shape the activities of firms in the military-industrial complex. This vase defense program focused scientific talent and capital on national security institutions. Seller Inventory # 43185
