Finding the Target: The Transformation of American Military Policy Hardcover - 2006 - 1st Edition

by Frederick Kagan

Kagan describes the three basic transformations within the U.S. military since Vietnam from the move to an all-volunteer force through the information technology that followed the fall of the Soviet Union and the first Gulf War.


From the publisher

In Finding the Target, Frederick Kagan describes the three basic transformations within the U.S. military since Vietnam. The issue of transformation leads Kagan to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's vision of a new military; the conduct of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars; and the disconnect between grand strategic visions such as the Bush Doctrine's idea of preemption and the under funding of military force structures that are supposed to achieve such goals.
