(book review on Stephen Glain, State v Defense. Crown, 2011)
Quote:
"This 'militaristic' policy dates back much further than Mr. Glain's
narrative. After the Civil War, the U.S. Army governed the former
Confederacy because no other federal entity had the necessary manpower.
Following the annexation of the Philippines in 1899, the U.S. Army governed
the islands with a degree of administrative competence and integrity that
earned it renown among the populace. During World War II, Franklin Roosevelt
tasked the military with administering occupied Axis territories after the
State Department's mismanagement of the North African occupation revealed
appalling deficiencies. American military governors were remarkably
successful in rehabilitating Germany and Japan after the war. |
