Rogue States and Nuclear Outlaws

Mehr zum Buch

The book presents a critical analysis of U.S. national security policy, highlighting how the Pentagon identified a new class of adversaries following the Cold War. Michael Klare contends that the focus shifted to containing emerging powers in the Third World, particularly Iraq, Iran, Libya, and North Korea. This shift not only shaped American military strategy but also justified significant military spending reminiscent of Cold War levels. Through this lens, Klare explores the implications of these policies on global relations and security dynamics.
