Prevent War: A New Strategy for America
by Jack Kidd
Category: Political Science

This century has been the deadliest ever -- six times deadlier than the last: 110,000,000 were killed in wars! The cost of the Cold War alone, $13.4 trillion, left a $5.5 trillion national debt. Unless imaginative preventative measures are taken Air Force Major General (Retired) Jack Kidd sees this century repeating -- but with far deadlier weapons than the thermonuclear bomb, and warfare extended into space. In the last twelve chapters of "Prevent War" he assesses this century's wars and proposes a host of fundamental changes to prevent a repetition of our 20th Century's experience. Kidd would be overjoyed if this book spawned a lively debate about: -- Where America is headed and its leadership role in the world -- Harnessing and eliminating weapons of mass destruction -- Preventing wars and making the world a safer, saner place. The ideas, motivations, and the plan to transform the United States and to achieve the peace that mankind longs for are in this book.
