5.0 out of 5 stars
A great survey of a century of wars and bad foreign policy, April 16, 2001
This review is from: The Failure of America's Foreign Wars (Paperback)
Starting with the Spanish-American War in 1898 and covering virtually every foreign conflict up to and including the Gulf War, this densely-packed volume of essays levels detailed and devastating criticisms against America's interventionist, and often brutal, foreign policies.
Culled mostly from the pages of "Freedom Daily", no punches are pulled as even "good" wars such as World War II are subjected to withering critiques: bashing the fire-bombing of Dresden, the use of atomic bombs against Japan and post-war repatriations.
This book is a must-have for your personal library if you are interested in defending a strict, non-interventionist foreign policy from a moral and practical standpoint. No other book covers such a range of conflicts so well.
