Tobias is well known in academic and popular circles as a feminist and for her books, Women, Militarism and War and Faces of Feminism: An Activist's Reflections on the Women's Movement. Supported by the Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Research Corporation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, her work has made her a sought-after consultant on college and university curricula, general education, post-baccalaureate alternatives, professional master's in science and mathematics, and women's studies. Tobias is a popular speaker on all these topics. Educated in history and literature at Harvard/Radcliffe, Tobias earned a master's in history and an M.Phil at Columbia University. A clear and unbiased primer, which demystifies everything, from the weapons(their cost, size, effects) to how and why they are procured. A spirited presentation of most aspects of defense for the beginner. Much ground is covered in a manner easily understandable by all, but there is perhaps too much emphasis on weapons and not enough on doctrine and strategic policy. The author spells out the many complicated issues, and makes sense of the maze of facts and figures. Sheila Tobias. the renowned educator, set out to learn what the experts know. Working with three co-authors, who are defense experts, she has produced a clear and unbiased primer for the intelligent but uninformed reader. The book demystifies everything, from the weapons (their cost, size, effects) to how and why they are procured. In clear, straightforward language the authors spell out the many immensely complicated issues: Who composes "the Defense Community"? First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]., Books<
