“Not until long after the votes had been counted, not until the Kennedy administration had been in office for months, did the truth seep out: there never had been a ‘missile gap.’ Or, if there had been one, it had been actually in our favor.”
Cook investigates and documents the historical, political, economic, technological, and psychological reasons for the Military's ascendancy. He defines the alliance of the Military and Industry, and shows the nature and extent of their concerted strength: having put the country on a permanent war economy, they must keep the public mood truculent to justify the need for militarism.
