I recently finished this.

It's good, if short. Seriously, it's like 240 pages. You could write an encyclopedia examining American militarism (or lack thereof). It's such a messy, convoluted subject and I wish this book was more authoritative. It has precious little to say about pop culture and the military, regional identity and the military, and American nationalism vs. globalization.

Anyway, I nevertheless recommend the book. It makes for interesting reading coming off this book (which I also enjoyed.)

Oh, andthis is my next big read.
