From her perspective as a Georgetown University law professor, daughter of anti-war protestors, wife of a Green Beret, and the former Pentagon special coordinator for rule of law and humanitarian policy, Brooks shows that the conventional military is increasingly overtaxed with nontraditional duties, while its most basic responsibilities are complicated by the effort to identify an enemy that doesn’t wear a uniform or use a recognizable weapon. Without clear boundaries, Brooks warns, America’s wars threaten the very foundations the country was founded on.
