You are cordially invited to a discussion with
Christopher A. Preble Director of Foreign Policy Studies at the Cato Institute and author of The Power Problem: How American Military Dominance Makes Us Less Safe, Less Prosperous, and Less Free

A majority of Americans want to reduce our military presence abroad, allowing our allies and other nations to assume greater responsibility for their own defense and to enforce security in their respective regions. Christopher Preble, author of the new book The Power Problem, agrees and asserts that the foreign policy experts who disdain the public’s perspective are wrong. He documents how the possession of vast military strength runs contrary to the original intent of the Founders and has, as they feared, shifted the balance of power away from individual citizens and toward the central government, and from the legislative and judicial branches of government to the executive
. • “Here is a book that Dwight D. Eisenhower would have greatly admired. Like Ike, Christopher Preble has a keen appreciation for the limits of military power, for the consequences of its misuse, and for the dangers of militarization.” — Andrew Bacevich, author, The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism
