Description:
"The Soldier and the State" by Samuel P. Huntington is a classic work that challenges traditional assumptions and ideas regarding the role of the military in society. Huntington presents a comprehensive theory of civil-military relations, emphasizing the significance of the military perspective in shaping American national policy.
The book is divided into three parts:
1. Part One introduces the general theory of the "military profession," the "military mind," and the concept of civilian control. Huntington analyzes the historical development of the military profession in western Europe and compares civil-military relations in Germany and Japan from 1870 to 1945.
2. Part Two explores the environmental constants of American civil-military relations, including liberal values and a conservative constitution. The author traces the evolution of civil-military relations in the United States from 1789 to 1940, focusing on the emergence of the American military profession and its interaction with intellectual and political currents.
3. Part Three examines the challenges of American civil-military relations during World War II and the Korean War. This section discusses the political roles of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, differences in civil-military relations between the Truman and Eisenhower administrations, the role of Congress, and the organization of the Department of Defense. Huntington concludes by suggesting that Americans should reconsider their liberal values in light of the conservative realism of professional military leaders.
"The Soldier and the State" provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of civil-military relations and offers historical analysis that remains relevant to contemporary discussions on military policy and governance.
