"The Pentagon Wars: Reformers Challenge the Old Guard" is a non-fiction account of the struggles faced by military reformers within the Pentagon during the 1980s and 1990s. Written by former Pentagon insider James G. Burton, the book details the internal battles and bureaucratic obstacles faced by those trying to implement more efficient and effective military strategies, and the resistance they encountered from entrenched institutions and old-guard leaders.
