Americans spend more than $100 billion a year to buy weapons, but no one likes the process that brings these weapons into existence. McNaugher examines weapons procurement since World War II and shows how repeated efforts to improve weapons acquisition have instead increased the harmful intrusion of political pressures into that technical development and procurement process.
