Two of Washington's go-to policy experts show why when it
comes to elections, national security is a fundamental
issue--and what the Democrats need to do to make it their
own Our ideas about national security have changed
radically over the last five years. It has become a
political tool, a "wedge issue," a symbol of pride and
fear. It is also the one issue above all others that can
make or break an election. And this is why the Democratic
Party has been steadily losing power since 2001. In
Hard Power, Michael O'Hanlon, an expert on foreign
policy at the Brookings Institution, and Kurt Campbell, an
authority on international security at the Center for
Strategic and International Studies, explain how the
Democrats lost credibility on issues of security and foreign
policy, how they can get it back--and why they must. They
recall the successful Democratic military legacy of past
decades, as well as recent Democratic innovations--like the
Homeland Security Office and the idea of
nation-building--that have been successfully co-opted by the
Republican administration. And, most importantly, they
develop a broad national security vision for America,
including specific defense policies and a strategy to win
the war on terror.
