What if America could be stronger, safer, and spend half as much on national defense?
The military-industrial complex is broken. Corruption, waste, and catastrophic hubris are out of control, and the result has been a perilous and expensive defense strategyall at the expense of the American taxpayer. If we dont change course now, the cost wont just be measured in dollars, but in lives and liberties.
Enter Ivan Eland, Director of Independent Institutes Center on Peace & Liberty and acclaimed foreign policy expert. A Balance of Titans: Peace and Liberty in the New Multipolar World lays out a much-needed, rational, strategy-first approach to national security, one that protects vital interests without bankrupting the nation or dragging America into endless wars. His theory of Independent Internationalism is principled and pragmatic, championing diplomacy and restraint over empire and endless war. With a proposed budget that slashes military spending by more than 40%, this book is a must-read for all Americans who believe in a smarter, saner path to American security in a multipolar world.
