Militarism and Statecraft

This important work offers a critique of the relationship between military power and political authority in modern states. Smith argues that the increasing militarization of society has given rise to a dangerous form of authoritarianism that poses a threat to democracy and individual liberty. Drawing on examples from history and contemporary politics, the author offers a powerful indictment of the excesses of militarism and a compelling case for a more peaceful, cooperative approach to international relations.
