About This Item
Oakland,CA: The Independent Institute, 2004. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. [8], 294, [2] pages. Notes. Index. Signed by author on title page. DJ has slight wear and soiling and "Autographed Copy" sticker on front. Ivan Eland (born February 23, 1958) is an American defense analyst and author. He is a Senior Fellow and Director of the Center on Peace and Liberty at the Independent Institute. Eland's writings generally propose libertarian and non-interventionist policies. Ivan Eland is the author of Putting "Defense" Back into U.S. Defense Policy, The Empire Has No Clothes: U.S. Foreign Policy Exposed, Recarving Rushmore: Ranking the Presidents on Peace, Prosperity, and Liberty and Partitioning for Peace: An Exit Strategy for Iraq. He has also written essays, including forty-five in-depth studies on national security issues, and numerous articles. He addressed the subjects of foreign relations, defense policy, military readiness and threat analysis, Sino-American relations, the Taiwan issue, terrorism and its effects on civil liberties, the lessons of the Vietnam War, WMD proliferation, National Missile Defense, the National Security Agency, the ABM Treaty, submarines, special operations forces, NATO expansion, and U.S. policy towards Iraq and Iran. Delving into the concept of the United States as an empire, this investigation examines U.S. interventions around the world--from the Spanish-American War to the invasion of Iraq--demonstrating how they not only contradict the principles of both liberals and conservatives but also make a mockery of the Founding Fathers' vision for a free republic. In recent years, "blowback" and the enormous expansion of federal power have threatened the American homeland itself, curtailing the liberties these interventions were supposed to protect. This book, however, exposes the flaws of U.S. interventionism and advocates a return to military restraint.
