This review is from: Against All Enemies Foreign and Domestic: A Study of Urban Unrest and Federal Intervention Within the United States (Hardcover)

Dr. Price has done the impossible. He has carefully laid out the Army's success and sometimes failure in quelling Civil Unrest within it's border's. This is a must read for Baby Boomers who may have forgotten some of the civil right causes they championed in the past. The children of Boomers will also come to understand the world in which their parents have helped shape.

More importantly, Dr. Price has shown that while the United States Army has successfully help police the world, the intricacies and diversity of America continue to put them at odds.

Dr. Price examines the riots in Los Angeles, D.C. and Detroit. An added bonus is his explanation and solution to the escalation of violence between the student body of Kent State and the Ohio National Guard.

Dr. Price has carefully laid out all the facts in his book for you to decide the roll our government has played in quelling civil unrest within it's border. But don't miss the hard hitting, thought provoking epilogue: "What have we learned". Here he questions racial riots and their causal factors and the role we as Americans have played. Have we allowed too much to go unnoticed and unchecked?

If you read one book in your life about Civil Unrest in America this should be the one.
