520    The Pentagon's a strange place. Inside secure command 
       centers, military officials make life and death decisions-
       -but the Pentagon also offers food courts, banks, 
       drugstores, florists, and chocolate shops. When Rosa 
       Brooks gave her family a tour, her mother gaped at the 
       glossy window displays: "So the heart of American military
       power is a shopping mall?" In a sense, yes: the U.S. 
       military has become our one-stop-shopping solution to 
       global problems. Today's military personnel analyze 
       computer code, train Afghan judges, build Ebola isolation 
       wards, eavesdrop on electronic communications, develop 
       soap operas, and patrol the seas for pirates. Rosa Brooks 
       traces this seismic shift in how America wages war from an
       unconventional perspective. She is a former top Pentagon 
       official and the daughter of antiwar protesters; a human 
       rights activist and the wife of an Army Special Forces 
       officer. Her book is by turns a memoir, a work of 
       journalism, and a scholarly exploration of history, 
       anthropology, and law. But at its heart it is a rallying 
       cry, for Brooks shows that when the war machine breaks out
       of its borders, we undermine the values and rules that 
       keep our world from sliding toward chaos. And as we pile 
       new tasks onto the military, we make it increasingly ill-
       prepared for the threats America faces. Brooks sounds an 
       alarm, forcing us to see how the collapsing barriers 
       between war and peace threaten both America and the world.
       And time is running out to make things right.--From dust 
       jacket.
