This idea also fueled a racial ordering by defining who was, and who was not, worthy of defense. A fascinating account of the culture of war without end.\"--Mary L. Dudziak, author of War Time: An Idea, Its History, Its Consequences \"Empire of Defense is an important and original contribution to studies of US warfare, empire-building, and racial modes of governance. This well-researched and meticulously written book suggests that permanent war is not antithetical to liberal governance--it is, in fact, part and parcel of it. As Darda powerfully reveals, the empire of defense hides its own violence in plain sight.
