520    "How did the global Cold War influence American politics 
       at home? For Might and Right traces the story of how Cold 
       War defense spending remade participatory politics, 
       producing a powerful and dynamic political coalition that 
       reached across party lines. This "Cold War coalition" 
       favored massive defense spending over social welfare 
       programs, bringing together a diverse array of actors from
       across the nation, including defense workers, community 
       boosters, military contractors, current and retired 
       members of the armed services, activists, and politicians.
       Faced with neoliberal austerity and uncertainty 
       surrounding America's foreign policy after the 1960s, 
       increased military spending became a bipartisan solution 
       to create jobs and stimulate economic growth, even in the 
       absence of national security threats. Using a rich array 
       of archival sources, Michael Brenes draws important 
       connections between economic inequality and American 
       militarism that enhance our understanding of the Cold 
       War's continued impact on American democracy and the 
       resilience of the military-industrial complex, up to the 
       age of Donald Trump"--|cProvided by publisher.
