description: "Shooting blanks" is what happens when the troops are called out and the results are not what was expected. The authors, distinguished defense analysts, look closely at all aspects of war-making--from officer training and weapons procurement to intelligence gathering and the relationship between "bullets and ballots"--and deliver a startling, timely clarion call that concerned citizens can't afford to ignore.
