| Summary: | In a data-driven analysis of contemporary American attitudes, 'Dangerous Instrument' examines the current state of U.S. civil-military affairs, probing how the public views their military and the effect that partisan tribalism may have on that relationship in the future. Michael A. Robinson studies the sources and potential limits of American trust in the armed services, focusing on the interplay of the public, political parties, media outlets, and the military itself on the prospect of politicisation and its associated challenges. As democratic institutions face persistent pressure worldwide, this title provides important insights into the contemporary arc of American civil-military affairs and delivers recommendations on ways to preserve a non-partisan military. |
