ISBN10: 0618872019, ISBN13: 9780618872015, [publisher: Mariner Books] Softcover In ' House of War ' James Carroll has created a history of the Pentagon that is both epic and personal. Through Carroll we see how the Pentagon since its founding, has operated beyond the control of any force in government or society, undermining the very national security it is sworn to protect. From its " birth" on September 11 1941, through the nuclear buildup of the Cold War and the eventual " shock and awe " of Iraq, Carroll recounts how " the building" and its officials have achieved what President Eisenhower call " a disastrous rise of misplaced power" A good, tight and clean book.
