American Wars: Good, Bad, and Ugly

About the Book

Synopsis American Wars: Good, Bad, and Ugly This work contains an unusual view of American wars that may stimulate new thoughts of the price we have paid and the gains we have made in the folly of our wars. Disagreements are bound to arise, but no one will walk away from this book having been bored by another of those dull books on history. Promises should be made to be kept. I promise you that you will gain a different insight into our wars: the good, bad, and ugly.
