The monstrous attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon have made U.S. defense policy a more urgent topic for discussion. Ivan Eland's new book proposes a security strategy that better fits the real needs of the United States-defending our truly vital interests, protecting the homeland, reducing unnecessary and provocative intervention overseas, and responding aggressively to the real threats we face in the age of terrorism. Eland argues that a more restrained U.S. military posture abroad could actually enhance American security and that a dramatic reallocation of resources in the defense budget is needed to respond to the changed threat environment.
