Large Size Book.Only twenty-five years ago U.S. land and air forces amounted to "little more than a Swiss Guard." With the awesome expansion of military power in the interests of national security during the cold war have come drastic changes in the American way of life. "In the process," Mr. Raymond says, "we altered some of our traditions in the military, in diplomacy, in industry, science, education, politics and other aspects of or society. We placed tremendous peacetime authority in the hands of our defenders, military and civilian. That is what this book is about. Abroad, the image of American authority is military. America maintains military bases around the world. We are involved in military alliances and military pacts. We have developed military-civilian action programs in the far corners of the globe. Basic Western military strategy depends upon decisions made in America. Uncle Sam, General Maxwell Taylor has said, has become a world-renowned soldier in spite of himself.
