What is The long war : a new history of U.S. national security policy since World War II about?

<p>Essays by a diverse and distinguished group of historians, political scientists, and sociologists examine the alarms, emergencies, controversies, and confusions that have characterized America's Cold War, the post-Cold War interval of the 1990s, and today's "Global War on Terror." This "Long War" has left its imprint on virtually every aspect of American life; by considering it as a whole, <i>The Long War</i> is the first volume to take a truly comprehensive look at America's response to the national-security crisis touched off by the events of World War II.</p> <p>Contributors consider topics ranging from grand strategy and strategic bombing to ideology and economics and assess the changing American way of war and Hollywood's surprisingly consistent depiction of Americans at war. They evaluate the evolution of the national-security apparatus and the role of dissenters who viewed the myriad activities of that apparatus with dismay. They take a fresh look at the Long War's civic implications and its impact on civil-military relations.</p> <p>More than a military history, <i>The Long War</i> examines the ideas, policies, and institutions that have developed since the United States
