"A very significant book. It treats the subject of the
military-industrial complex more comprehensively than almost any
book in that vast literature. The work is at the same time
multidisciplinary and historical, investigating the civil-military
relationship across fields and over time. Most books on the
military-industrial complex do not cover the subject topically,
disciplinarily, and historically. This book does all three."--Roger
W. Lotchin, University
of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

case studies make for fascinating narratives containing much new
information, which the authors recount well....A very important
contribution....Its detailed and well written account documents for
the first time the tremendous overall influence of defense policy
on the American space economy."--The Professional Geographer
