Description
Lockheed Martin's influence on America's military-industrial complex is a story of remarkable growth and controversy. The company's role in shaping U.S. foreign policy over decades is a subject of fascination and concern. William D. Hartung's book, Prophets of War, chronicles the company's meteoric rise and its impact on the nation's security. From producing spy satellites to manufacturing high-tech aircraft, Lockheed Martin has been at the forefront of the arms industry. The company's extensive contracts with the Pentagon, NASA, and other government agencies have made it a major recipient of taxpayer dollars. Hartung's meticulous history reveals the intricacies of Lockheed Martin's influence and the consequences of its power. The company's history is marked by scandals, including bribery and the provision of unusual items to the Pentagon. Hartung's book provides a hard-hitting examination of Lockheed Martin's growth and its role in shaping U.S. foreign policy.
