The author's premise is that currently there is no objectively fair way for the public at large or the strategic-level elites to assess whether the critical and often obscured relationships between Generals, Admirals, and Statesmen function as they ought to under the US constitutional system. By treating these relationships--in form and practice--as part of a wider principal (civilian)-agency (military) dynamic, the book tracks the \"duties\"--care, competence, diligence, confidentiality, scope of responsibility--and perceived shortcomings in the interactions between US civilian political authorities and their military advisors in both peacetime and in war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45275704459415,"sku":"9783319851747","price":7267.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319851747.webp?v=1769283683","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/crisis-agency-and-law-in-us-civil-military-relations-9783319851747","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
