Blank Check by Tim Weiner
The Pentagon's Black Budget
An investigative account of the growth and consequences of America’s secret defense spending, tracing how classified appropriations and covert programs have expanded since World War II into a vast, poorly overseen “black budget” that sustains weapons development, intelligence operations, and private contractors; the book shows how secrecy, institutional incentives, and congressional acquiescence produce waste, corruption, and unchecked power while skewing national priorities and eroding democratic accountability.
