On January 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his famous farewell address in which he warned of the dangers of "unwarranted influence, whether sought our unsought, by the military-industrial complex."

Hartung's new book, Prophets of War: Lockheed Martin and the Making of the Military-Industrial Complex.
