{"product_id":"weapons-without-a-cause-theo-farrell-9781349251117","title":"Weapons Without a Cause: The Politics of Weapons Acquisition in the United State","description":"Why are certain weapons acquired in the United States and others not? Theo Farrell addresses this question by examining the strategic, institutional and budgetary issues surrounding four major weapon programmes. Extensive use is made of primary sources in analysing the origins, development and outcomes of these programmes. This book presents alarming evidence to show how the military services manipulate weapons acquisition to suit their own ends rather than national security. It also analyses how Congress, motivated by concerns over cost, comes to play a greater role in shaping programme outcomes once weapons enter production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theo Farrell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1349251119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781349251117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Theo Farrell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44064339067135,"sku":"9781349251117","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b70b3809-d0bf-4885-9648-956d0144cec5.jpg?v=1685394892","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/weapons-without-a-cause-theo-farrell-9781349251117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
