Description
Summary:The United States professionalized military is subordinated to civilian control. This book looks at that relationship by considering how social media, changing means of warfare, deepening political divisions, and an increasingly unpredictable operational environment have affected the organization of what is conventionally assumed to be an apolitical profession.
