Features: From 1898 to 2006, giving you a U.S. military that grows from weak to strong; from the Spanish-American War to the North Korean nuclear issue, showing you a real America; there is no war, there is no America; people say there is no America, there is no war. This book introduces the overseas campaigns of the U.S. military in a chapter-by-chapter format, allowing readers to see a U.S. that grows stronger in war, a U.S. skilled in utilizing war, and thus a more authentic America. In 1898, before the 20th century even began, the U.S. military had only 26,000 regular troops. By the early 21st century in 2006, there were already 2 million U.S. troops stationed in various corners of the planet. From a nation that took neutrality as its fundamental principle of statehood to a "world police" that intervenes wherever there is war, the history of the U.S. in the 20th century is truly legendary. But how did the U.S. transform this "ugly duckling" into a "phoenix" and make it a reality? Starting from the Spanish-American War, through World War I, World War II, the Cold War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the Kosovo War, the Iraq War, and even the recent North Korean nuclear issue crisis, this book will unveil this mystery in a chapter-by-chapter format, allowing readers to see a U.S. that grows stronger in war, a U.S. skilled in utilizing war, and thus a more authentic America.
