In this new edition, the author critically assesses the Bush administration's defense strategy and budget plan. He also addresses the new military challenges faced by the administration after the terrorist attacks of September 11. Defense spending is now projected to increase to levels seen under the Reagan administration. Michael O'Hanlon suggests ways to deal with these defense demands while keeping the U.S. defense budget $30 to $40 billion below planned Bush administration levels.
