Andrew Bacevich visited Hamilton on Oct. 20 as a speaker in the Levitt Center’s lecture series on the “Responsibilities of a Superpower.” His lecture, titled “Reflections on American Militarism” was based on his most recent book, The New American Militarism: How Americans are Seduced by War, which details the rise of the U.S. military and the consequences of this change. The new American militarism is built on the belief that we have “managed to unlock the secrets of warfare and had created military instruments of unprecedented political effectiveness as well as operational efficiency,” said Bacevich, who is the director of the Center on International Relations and a professor of international relations at Boston University.
