This political/social history of the past 80 years of American history focuses on taxes, economics, military spending, politics, infrastructure development and weapons technologies. FOUR WARS examines the Great Depression, World War II (which America won in 45 months), the Cold War and the present global economic crisis. The author, Mel Barney, brings insights to these issues which he acquired as an engineer working on advanced radar systems and military weapons systems, marketing these technologies for US Corporations to global markets. The top secret classifications of these programs have been declassified by the us government and military.
Of particular interest is the contribution to the Nixon-Brezhnev detante initiative which ended the global arms race and cold war. Mel Barney established contact with a source in Moscow and this grew into a productive effort toward stabilizing the cold war. All of this is told with good humor and numerous personal anecdotes from his travels to 53 foreign countries.
