Book Review by Zachary Shore of The Emergency State America's Pursuit of Absolute Security at All Costs by David C. Unger

Abstract

At long last, combat troops are out of Iraq. President Obama has begun drawing down troops in Afghanistan. And rather than leading a charge into Libya, the president gave U.S. forces the backseat to Britain and France. If you thought that this has signaled a kinder, gentler America, David Unger wants you to think again.
