Prologue
Oh, say can you see : the view from the top
What so proudly we hail : insuring national defense through its budget
Stripes and bright stars : how the team at the top affects security policy
The perilous fight : Iranian revolution and the hostage crisis
Rockets' red glare and bombs : plans, programs, and agreements
The ramparts we watched : dealing with the outside world
That banner yet waves : preparing for what lies ahead
Land of the free : stimulating the national economy for international security
Home of the brave : America at a tipping point.
