Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

For those who have heard about $7000 coffee pots and similar outlandish defense expenditures and wondered if they were the exception, this well-documented expose, sadly, indicates that waste is the rule at the Pentagon. Rasor's nonpartisan Project on Military Procurement, which served as a conduit between Pentagon whistle-blowers and the press, has chronicled a sorry tale of institutionalized inefficiency, cover-ups, shoddy military hardware, downright graft, and lack of concern for the safety of American fighters in combat. On the list of turkeys she plucked are the M-1 and -60 tanks with their engine and transmission defects, and the C-5 transport, to name a few. Her project examined readiness problems in the armed services, the systematic withholding of information from Congress, and the revolving door spinning retired military officers into corporate positions in the defense industry. Reform suggestions are clear and poignant. Highly recommended. Frank Kessler, Political Science Dept., Missouri Western State Coll., St. Joseph
