Sociology and the Military Establishment is a book written by Morris Janowitz that explores the relationship between sociology and the military. The book delves into the ways in which the military serves as a unique social institution, with its own distinct culture, values, and structures. Janowitz examines the role of the military in society and the impact of social factors on military institutions.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the military as a social institution, discussing its origins, structure, and functions. The second part examines the relationship between the military and society, including the impact of social and political factors on military policy and the role of the military in shaping national identity. The third and final part of the book focuses on the sociology of military personnel, exploring topics such as recruitment, training, and the socialization of soldiers.Throughout the book, Janowitz emphasizes the importance of sociological analysis in understanding the military establishment. He argues that the military is not simply a tool of the state, but a complex social institution that reflects and shapes the values and beliefs of society as a whole.

A timeless resource that describes the evolution of the US military in the first half of the 20th century.More than 50 years after its publication, The Professional Soldier remains a path-breaking study of civil-military relations. In the Cold War era, Morris Janowitz was among the first to recognize that the military was a fruitful subject for social science to study. Asking who soldiers are, what they do, and what they believe, Janowitz’s studies of armed forces and society have guided the work of scholars and policy makers for three generations. The Professional Soldier identifies three issues that confront civil-military relations to this day: how to judge the political consequences of military conduct, how to solve problems of international relations while using less force, and how to strengthen civilian control of the military while preserving professional military autonomy. A vital resource for students and anyone interested in understanding the past, present, and future of the armed services.

A study that deals with social control in advanced industrial society, especially the United States, and particularly the half-century after World War I.
