Item description from seller

New York. 1972. Atheneum. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 353 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Lawrence Ratzkin. keywords: History America Politics War. DESCRIPTION - The United States has been at war in one form or another for more than a generation - World War II; the Cold War; military intervention year after year in Greece, Lebanon, the Dominican Republic; and the interminable war in Indochina. Most of the money in the federal budget has gone for war and preparation for war. War has been the preoccupation of America's leaders. ROOTS OF WAR is the first comprehensive investigation of the forces in American life that continue to propel the United States toward international violence. In this profound and compelling book the author asks why killing in the national interest has become routine and comes up with some surprising and disturbing answers. Using his firsthand experience in government, as well as the memoirs, testimony, and papers of the national security managers themselves, Mr. Barnet penetrates the fascinating bureaucratic world in which presidents and their advisers determine the national interest, and explains why they act as they do. How much does personal career affect foreign policy decisions? What is the role of business in setting American foreign policy? How important is public opinion? What are the real fears and hopes of the men who manage our affairs of state? These are some of the basic questions the author takes up, and to answer them he draws on a wealth of material from history, economics, and psychology. Arguing that the United States can never change its foreign policy until Americans come to grips with the domestic forces which shape that policy, Mr. Barnet examines the new focus that may cause a new generation of Americans to demand a generation of peace and the reorganization of American institutions that will permit it. inventory #15740 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket.
