Effectively using history and keen insights into this complex issue  in this book Dr. Owens provides an informed perspective. In doing so  he reminds us of the militarys broad and constant advisory role  of Congress oversight responsibilities  of our civilian leaders need for military understanding  and of the overarching need for civil military engagement if we are going to achieve the necessary synergy in defense. The concepts illuminated in this book remind us that if our military is expected to act in concert with civilian leaderships aims  a constant dialogue and reciprocal process is necessary. This is the finest work available today for a serious student of how the military can best serve the Republic.\" James N. Mattis  General  U.S. Marines  \"Mac Owens has experienced war as well as studied it  and is  as a result well positioned to write about the way in which politicians and soldiers struggle with the formulation of strategy. This careful study of civil-military relations demonstrates both enduring tensions in the American system and the new stresses brought about by changing geopolitics and evolving military technology. A thoughtful and balanced work.\" Dr. Eliot A. Cohen  Robert E. Osgood Professor of Strategic Studies  Johns Hopkins SAIS  USA  \"In his new book  Mackubin Owens offers a thoughtful synthesis of scholarly debate and incisive analysis of what he terms the civil-military bargain in the United States.
