New York: Macmillan, c1986. First Printing. Hardcover. 24 cm, 396 pages. Bibliography. Index. Stamp and pencil notes inside front board & flyleaf. Some pages highlighted/marginal note. A wide-ranging but low-key critique of the presumptively poor returns being realized on America's vast investment in defense from the Pentagon correspondent of The New York Times. Halloran has surprisingly kind words for several aspects of national defense. In particular, he's high on the caliber of the armed forces' all-volunteer personnel. The author also views the SDI (aka Star Wars) as a feasible program, albeit for the longer term. On the minus side, Halloran cites familiar targets, including unproductive interservice rivalries, the failure of US allies to share equitably in bearing mutual defense burdens, lawmakers who focus on parochial interests in voting on military expenditures, and an egregiously inefficient arms industry. He presents a lengthy and logical list of possible reforms that could not only contain the escalating cost of defense but give the taxpaying public appreciably greater security. In his view, the Pentagon should be allowed to let long-run contracts, with the defense industry regulated like a public utility by an independent commission. In the meantime. Halloran offers thoughtful, carefully documented commentary. He unobtrusively translates nukespeak lingo into layman's language. Striking examples range from ""collateral damage"" (civilian deaths) through ""decapitation"" (the killing of an enemy's leaders). Overall, a telling audit of America's overextended defenses in the Post-Vietnam era. More

Yehoshafat Harkabi (born 1921, Haifa; died 1994, Jerusalem) was chief of Israeli military intelligence from 1955 until 1959 and afterwards a professor of International Relations and Middle East Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Harkabi had a command of Arabic, a knowledge of Arab civilization and history, and an understanding of Islam. He developed from an uncompromising hardliner to supporter of a Palestinian state who recognized the PLO as a negotiations partner. In his well-known work Israel's Fateful Hour, hei described himself as a "Machiavellian dove" intent on searching "for a policy by which Israel can get the best possible settlement"--a policy that would include a Zionism "of quality and not of acreage". Harkabi resigned as chief of Military Intelligence as a consequence of the 1959 Night of the Ducks. Following his military career, Harkabi was Maurice Hexter professor and director of the Leonard Davis Institute of International Relations and Middle East Studies at Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Admiral of the Fleet John Rushworth Jellicoe, 1st Earl Jellicoe, GCB, OM, GCVO, SGM, DL (5 December 1859 – 20 November 1935) was a Royal Navy officer. He commanded the Grand Fleet at the Battle of Jutland in May 1916 during the First World War. His handling of the fleet at that battle was controversial. The public was disappointed that the Royal Navy had not won a more dramatic victory. Jellicoe later served as First Sea Lord, overseeing the expansion of the Naval Staff at the Admiralty and the introduction of convoys, but was relieved at the end of 1917. More
