The emphasis is on the activities of the U.S. military and intelligence agencies. The probe relies for its historical data on well-recognized, previously published reports and histories. The probe is unique in that it focuses on the mindset of the individuals involved. The analysis of the mindset ranges from Aristotle, the latest research of mental health professionals, to the insights of thinkers Edmund Burke, Reinhold Niebuhr, Friedrich Meinecke, and George Kennan. The conclusions reached are disturbing: the defense of the democracy has been a failure and the mindset of the officials has continued to the present day and does not bode well for the future of the democracy.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 233mmItem Length: 155mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 313gRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
