I Want You!: The Evolution of the All-Volunteer Force

by Bernard Rostker

Should the U.S. reinstate the draft? With this inside look at the Pentagon and the White House, the author reviews the American military's transformation over the past thirty years into the world's finest fighting force, and describes why the volunteer force is still the best strategy for our national security. A vast archive of government documents on DVD allows readers to view exchanges between government officials at the highest level-including formally classified memorandum between Presidents and Secretaries of Defense-revealing for the first time the inner story of the All-Volunteer Force.

Stellar book on the evolution of America's fighting force since Vietnam. The CD containing the primary sources used is alone worth the cost of this book. An excellent source for anyone doing research in this field.
