Reconsidering the American Way of War: US Military Practice from the Revolution to Afghanistan - Hardcover

by Antulio J. Echevarria II (Author)

Challenging several longstanding notions about the American way of war, this book examines US strategic and operational practice from 1775 to 2014. It surveys all major US wars from the War of Independence to the campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as smaller US conflicts to determine what patterns, if any, existed in American uses of force.
