Publisher Description

INTRODUCTION During the 1980s the combination of world events and U.S. policy decisions by the "hawkish" administration of Ronald Reagan and the "reluctant" government of George H.W. Bush led the United States into a series of interventions designed to remind the world community that while the American military had not been able to thwart the communist unification of Vietnam, she was still one of two most formidable military powers in the world capable of imposing her will whenever and wherever necessary. The Department of Defense (DoD), led by super conservative Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney, shrouded this goal in their new slogan "Global Reach, Global Power."
