Klare is a Five Colleges professor of Peace and World Security Studies, whose department is located at Hampshire College, defense correspondent of The Nation magazine and author of Resource Wars and Blood and Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America's Growing Petroleum Dependency (Metropolitan).

Peter Kornbluh (born 1956) is the director of the National Security Archive's Chile Documentation Project and Cuba Documentation Project. He played a large role in the campaign to declassify government documents, via the Freedom of Information Act, relating to the history of the U.S. government's support for the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile. He is the author of several books, most recently The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability. Kornbluh won a 1990 James Aronson Award honorable mention for writing on Central America in The New Yorker. The first book to take on the hottest military/foreign policy issue of the post-Irangate eighties--low-intensity warfare. The issues in this book would be the key to any foreign policy/defense debate in 1988. Among the contributor was Richard J. Barnet. Richard Jackson Barnet (May 7, 1929 - December 23, 2004) was an American scholar-activist who co-founded the Institute for Policy Studies. Derived from a Kirkus review: A collection of essays that explore--and challenge the Administration's position on--the relatively new concept of "low-intensity warfare." Klare teams up with Kornbluh to edit these pieces by Selig Harrison, Charles Maechling, Jr., Richard Barnet, Stephen Goose, Daniel Siegel, Walden Bellow, and Joy Hackel. The editors see the roots of America's low-intensity warfare strategy in President Kennedy's recognition that "subversive insurgency is a major form of politico-military conflict equal in importance to conventional warfare." After the Vietnam backlash and retrenchment against guerrilla warfare, the editors explain in their introduction, "a small contingent of officers, analysts, and political operators inside the national security establishment, supported by a growing neoconservative movement, committed themselves to reviving the United States as the 'guardian at the gate' of a global hegemonic order." The general binding theme of the essays presented here is best summed up by one of the editors' nemeses, Sam Sarkesian, whose pro-counterinsurgency stance they quote: ". . .low-intensity conflicts do not conform to democratic notions of strategy or tactics. . .survival is the ultimate morality." Thus, whether it be in the essays devoted to Nicaragua, El Salvador, or Afghanistan, on display here is an emphasis on condemning US government secret operations--a condemnation summed up in Barnet's concluding essay, wherein he states that any sustained effort to mislead Congress poses a serious threat to the integrity of the Constitutional process. An intelligent exposition to the anti-low-intensity warfare position, but clearly focused on only one side of the discussion.…
