National Defense

I was first introduced to this book in College. When I went to look for it, it was out of print. James Fallows has documented events that took place in our own bumbling political recent past with the precison of a radar guided missile. It will open your eyes to a world of waste, and it will truly make you sit up when you learn the true history of the Armalite AR-15 combat rifle and how our military almost destroyed it before giving it out to our troops in Vietnam.
