In \u003ci\u003eAmerican Defense Reform\u003c\/i\u003e, Dave Oliver and Anand Toprani use US naval history as a guide for leading successful change in the Pentagon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Defense Reform\u003c\/i\u003e provides a historical analysis of the Navy during four key periods of disruptive transformation: the 1940s Revolt of the Admirals, the McNamara Revolution in systems analysis, the fallout from the Vietnam War, and the end of the Cold War. The authors draw insights from historical documents, previously unpublished interviews from four-star admirals, and Oliver's own experiences as a senior naval officer and defense industry executive. They show that Congress alone cannot effectively create change and reveal barriers to applying the experience of the private sector to the public sector \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimately, Oliver and Toprani show that change can only come from a collaborative effort between civilians, the military, and industry, each making vital contributions.
