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. Sociology and the Military Establishment is a seminal work in the field of military sociology, and remains an important resource for scholars and researchers interested in the social dynamics of the military.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
