Major General Edward J. Philbin, U.S.A.F. (RET.) " Executive
Director, National Guard Association of the United States Gary Hart
asks the most important and contentious military-political question
facing the nation since the outbreak of World War II: will the
nation continue to support an anomalous Cold War military structure
indefinitely into the twenty-first century -- well after its
mission has ended -- or will it return to its historic reliance on
trained, organized, and equipped citizen-soldiers? "The Minuteman"
is must reading, not only for decision makers and opinion molders
but for every citizen.
William Greider " author of "Who Will Tell The People" and "One
World, Ready Or Not" Gary Hart prods us to think clearly about what
national defense means without the Cold War, and he offers a
powerful framework for reordering the U.S. military. His real
subject is not weaponry but democracy, and he offers a solution
that is both practical and grounded in American values and
tradition. If Americans fail to engage the questions he raises, the
gravest threat to our long-term security may not be foreign.
