selves in prescribing in the military manpower field. The whole policy area is only now starting to be mapped out by political scientists. It seems to me that we have here a unique opportunity to demonstrate our belief that knowledge really is cumulative. I hope that the development of policy studies does not repeat the intellectual history of some other portions of the discipline, in which every new author starts out with his own theory, many elements of which cannot be tested by his own empirical work and will probably never be tested by the empirical work of anyone else either. Thus, I hope that what is valuable in these two books will not be read, reviewed, and forgotten but will instead appear as integral parts of future work.
