Abstract
Jordan Tama’s new book is an outstanding addition to the literature on national security
reform and the role of national commissions in effecting policy change. He takes a fresh
look at a topic that hasn’t gotten enough attention, and makes the very intriguing
argument that blue-ribbon commissions accomplish much more than they usually are given
credit for. Although I generally subscribe to the conventional wisdom Tama challenges,
which sees national commissions as unlikely to spur policy change, I came away from the
book at least partly convinced by his argument.
