the undisputed world champion?
The fact that the US is facing a profound
crisis, possibly the worst one in its history, is accepted by most
observers, except maybe the most delusional ones. Most Americans
definitely know that. In fact, if there is one thing upon which both
those who supported Trump and those who hate him with a passion can
agree on, it would be that his election is a clear proof of a profound
crisis (I would argue that the election of Obama before also had, as one
of its main causes, the very same systemic crisis). When speaking of
this crisis, most people will mention the deindustrialization, the drop
in real income, the lack of well-paid jobs, healthcare, crime,
immigration, pollution, education, and a myriad of other contributing
factors. But of all the aspects of the “American dream”, the single most
resilient one has been the myth of the US military as “the finest
fighting force in history”. In this new book, Andrei Martyanov not only
comprehensively debunks this myth, he explains step by step how this
myth was created and why it is collapsing now. This is no small feat,
especially in a relatively short book (225 pages) which is very well
written and accessible to everyone, not just military specialists.
