Wiederaufbau des Arsenals der Demokratie

A new piece at *Defining Ideas* presents an excerpt from *The Arsenal of Democracy,* a new book from the Hoover Institution Press offering a sweeping blueprint of deterrence for the United States and its military. The work combines technological, strategic, and logistical analysis of America’s competition with China. Its authors, Hoover Fellow [Eyck Freymann](https://www.hoover.org/profiles/eyck-freymann) and Harry Halem, explore centuries of military victories and defeats to set a course for US defense in the coming decades and in every corner of the world. The authors focus not just on weapons but on how arms are envisioned, paid for, built, and deployed; how the United States can maintain its strongest systems while restoring those that have become weak; and how innovative tech is not just essential to combat but the centerpiece of an ongoing revolution in war itself.
