Six Stops on the National Security Tour

Autorentext
Miriam Pemberton has studied the U.S. military economy and the means of shrinking it down to size for decades, fi rst as Director of the National Commission for Economic Conversion and Disarmament and then as a Research Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies. With Lawrence Korb, she headed the task force that for a decade produced the annual Unified Security Budget of the United States. With William Hartung she edited Lessons from Iraq: Avoiding the Next War (Paradigm, 2008). She headed up the team that produced three successive versions of Military vs. Climate Security: The Budgets Compared. Pemberton holds a PhD from the University of Michigan.
