Fortress California, 1910-1961: From Warfare to Welfare

$8.00

Roger W. Lotchin's book, Fortress California, 1910-1961: From Warfare to Welfare, explores the transformation of the military-industrial complex in California from its origins during World War I to its evolution into a welfare state. The book argues that the growth of the U.S. military-industrial complex was not a result of a partnership between industry and the military but rather a strategy by municipalities to secure military bases and contracts, which led to the development of urban empires and metropolitan-military complexes. This shift in focus from warfare to welfare was facilitated by the increased flow of federal dollars into the state, reflecting the changing priorities of the military-industrial complex. Lotchin's work is a significant contribution to the history of the American West and the understanding of the political economy of twentieth-century America.
