To Dare Mighty Things: US Defense Strategy Since the Revolution

On this episode of Reaganism, Roger sits down with Michael O'Hanlon, to discuss O'Hanlon's new book, "To Dare Mighty Things: U.S. Defense Strategies Since the Revolution." The conversation delves into the evolution of U.S. defense strategies and the importance of learning from past military engagements to inform current and future strategies. O'Hanlon emphasizes the need for a robust defense strategy that balances deterrence and innovation, particularly in the face of modern challenges posed by global powers like China and Russia. The discussion also touches on the significance of historical military figures and strategies, the role of Congress in defense policy, and the ongoing need for strategic military planning in a democratic republic.
