ALEX ABELLA SOLDIERS OF REASON: The RAND Corporation and the Rise of the American Empire Harcourt; editor Andrea Schulz. Pub 5/08, 388pp. A major work by Los Angeles Times journalist Alex Abella, SOLDIERS OF REASON reveals the role of the RAND Corporation in America’s rise to sole superpower. Abella had the cooperation of RAND figures past and present—among them current World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, leading neocon intellectual Richard Perle, and American Ambassador to the UN Zalmay Khalilzad—to tell the human story behind the powerful think tank, once called “the American academy of death and destruction” by Pravda. RAND analysts include game theorist John Nash (“A Beautiful Mind”); Daniel Ellsberg, whose release of the “Pentagon Papers” – a secret RAND study – speeded the end of the Vietnam War but also got him tried for treason; visionary Paul Baran, whose concept of “packet switching” made possible the Internet; and futurologist Herman Kahn (lampooned as “Dr. Strangelove”), who argued that the United States should consider a limited nuclear war against the Soviet Union. The book’s central figure is defense strategist Alfred Wohlstetter, who came up with such concepts as “Second Strike” and “Fail Safe,” and whose advocacy led to American involvement in Iraq. Abella had complete access to the archives of RAND and draws on them heavily in detailing RAND’s success at empire building. Publishers Weekly praised his “thorough account” and Kirkus agreed: “As good a look as we’re likely to get about an organization where keeping secrets is second nature.” UK, Translation: Regal Literary.
