Features: This book is a comprehensive collection of the United States' wars and conflicts—ranging from the Indian Wars to the most recent Iraq War. It records the motivations, backgrounds, durations, progress, outcomes, and the profound and far-reaching impacts of these wars on history. These conflicts include not only genuine military engagements but also non-military interventions, coups, and subversive activities orchestrated by the United States. Whether it was hot wars or cold wars; whether driven by pure political objectives or economic interests, or marked by passionate humanitarian interventions; whether it was anti-terrorism or asserting its undeniable hegemonic status in the world—conflicts in war have run like a red thread through the history of the United States. Within them, we see America's democracy and tyranny, generosity and stinginess, kindness and barbarity, as well as its contributions and exploitations of the world.
