Book Review: The Military and the Market 

Editors: Jennifer Mittelstadt and Mark R. Wilson 
| Reviewed by Major Ryan Orsini, Infantry officer, US Army | 

The Military and the Market is filled with historical and political science case studies to help US policymakers and practitioners navigate the interrelationships between the Department of Defense and the private market. The studies present the success and failure “of regulation and adaptation of individual markets, from on-post housing to local prostitution, and their impact on the military mission and overall social equity.” This book is well suited for policymakers and practitioners at the local and national levels.
