Synopsis

Arming the US military is an ongoing process, one of vital importance. This book will help America's leaders, educators and general public better understand how to manage the business of rearmament. Drawing on historical anecdotes, common business principles and the author's 31 years of military service, the book provides an engaging and educational look at the complexities of arming the American military.
