The definitive book about America’s perpetual wars and how to end them
from bestselling author, military expert, and award-winning journalist
William M. Arkin.
The first rule of perpetual war is to never stop, a fact which former
NBC News analyst William M. Arkin knows better than anyone, having
served in the Army and having covered all of America’s wars over the
past three decades. He has spent his career investigating how the
military throws around the word “war” to justify everything, from
physical combat to today’s globe-straddling cyber and intelligence network.
In The Generals Have No Clothes, Arkin traces how we got where we
are—bombing ten countries, killing terrorists in dozens more—all without
Congressional approval or public knowledge. Starting after the 9/11
attacks, the government put forth a singular idea that perpetual war was
the only way to keep the American people safe. Arkin explains why
President Obama failed to achieve his national security goal of ending
war in Iraq and reducing our military engagements, and shows how
President Trump has been frustrated in his attempts to end conflict in
Afghanistan and Syria. He also reveals how COVID-19 is a watershed
moment for the military, where the country’s civilian and public health
needs clash with the demands of future wars against China and Russia,
North Korea and Iran.
Proposing bold solutions, Arkin calls for a new era of civilian control
over the military. He also calls for a Global Security Index (GSX), the
security equivalent to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which would
measure the national and international events in real time to determine
whether perpetual war is actually making the nation safer. Arguing that
the American people should be empowered by facts rather than spurred by
fear, The Generals Have No Clothes outlines how we can take control of
the military…before it’s too late.
