About the Book

Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War is a call for Americans to reject the Washington consensus for permanent war. The book is particularly timely now: in December, President Obama has pledged to review his current policy of military escalation in Afghanistan, while the majority of Americans and the majority of House Democrats want him to establish a timetable for military withdrawal.

Bacevich's new book, Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War, was released August 2nd. Washington Rules is a call for Americans to reject the Washington consensus for permanent war. Bacevich's call is particularly timely now: in December, President Obama has pledged to review his current policy of military escalation in Afghanistan, while the majority of Americans and the majority of House Democrats want him to establish a timetable for military withdrawal. 



It's our hope that Virtual Brown Bag attendees will be able to read Washington Rules before the event, but the discussion should be intelligible to all. If you haven't read the book yet and you're interested in doing so, pick it up at your local bookstore, library, or buy it online through the link below.
