World of War: A History of American Warfare from Jamestown to the War on Terror

By William Nester

World of War is an epic journey through America's array of wars for diverse reasons with diverse results over the course of its existence. It reveals the crucial effects of brilliant, mediocre, and dismal military and civilian leaders; the dynamic among America's expanding economic power, changing technologies, and the types and settings of its wars; and the human, financial, and moral costs to the nation, its allies, and its enemies. Nester explores the violent conflicts of the United States--on land, at sea, and in the air--with meticulous scholarship, thought-provoking analysis, and vivid prose.
