"The complete account of the rise and decline of the antimilitarist tradition - rooted in fear of dictatorship - that has been an important part of the American heritage from colonial times until now.

[The author's] approach is that of the historian rather than the crusader." - back cover. xviii, [2]-340 pp. Footnotes. Index. Clean, tight and unmarked with average external wear.
