Conventional Editorial Review
**** "Prophets of War: Lockheed Martin and the Making of the Military-Industrial Complex" by William Hartung delivers a compelling narrative about Lockheed Martin, exposing both its influence and the broader implications of the military-industrial complex. The book is praised for its thorough research and engaging writing style, capturing the reader's attention from start to finish. While Hartung's evident bias against Lockheed Martin might be noted, many reviewers found that the underlying information is both relevant and enlightening for anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of the aerospace industry and government procurement. Reviewers from diverse backgrounds, including former employees and industry observers, have expressed that although the negative portrayal of Lockheed Martin is apparent, it does not detract from the genuine insights provided. Witnesses to the inner workings of the corporation appreciate Hartung's ability to dissect the duality of the organization; recognizing that while the management structure can be flawed, the workforce comprises highly skilled and dedicated individuals who contribute significantly to national defense and technological advancement. Readers also highlight the divide in reception along ideological lines, where liberal critiques align with Hartung's narrative of corporate corruption, whereas Conservatives defend the integrity of the corporation's operational success. Nevertheless, the book is ultimately seen as an essential read for those wanting to grasp the complexities of government contracting and the ethics involved with large defense contractors like Lockheed Martin. Despite occasional critiques regarding a lack of political solutions to the problems outlined, the Consensus remains that "Prophets of War" serves as a significant contribution to discussions about accountability, transparency, and the future of military contracting. **
