Description

Gary Hart. In this book, written in 1998, former Senator Gary Hart proposes a provocative & radical restructuring of America’s armed forces. Drawing on his long experience as a leader in the field of military reform (including 12 years on the Senate Armed Services Committee), Hart proposes a return to the oldest principles of the republic, making an impassioned case for replacing the Cold War military with a smaller standing army & a much larger, well-trained citizen reserve -- an “army of the people.” The professional nucleus would be a rapid-response force responsible for dealing with immediate crises & low-intensity conflicts, while the larger army of citizen-soldiers would be called up when national interests required a larger, sustained military presence.
