Résumé ou extrait
- "The U.S. military economy incorporates hundreds of American communities. This is the first book to connect our national security apparatus to the local level, via deeply-reported portraits of a few of them, including military meccas and out-of-the-way sites woven into the warfare economy by military bases, nuclear weapons labs, and production sites. It includes an overview of how the military is structured, how its budget is made, and what it costs. And it explains how the military economy perpetuates itself. The book traces the lines of connection between these tour stops and our country's foreign policy, industrial policy, and budget priorities. It examines the meaning of national security in the current moment, as climate change becomes what the military calls "an urgent and growing threat." And it explains how redirecting our militarized foreign and industrial policy toward climate security can help these communities connect to "Other Ambitions." (p. de garde)
