Breach of Trust

In "Breach of Trust," Andrew J. Bacevich examines the growing divide between American soldiers and society, tracing its roots back to the Vietnam era and highlighting its dangerous consequences. The book explores how the normalization of long-term conflicts has distanced citizens from the responsibility of wartime service and raises concerns about the implications for democratic values. Bacevich calls for Americans to reclaim their role in national defense, warning that neglecting this duty could lead to endless wars and moral and fiscal decline.
