The Savage Wars of Peace: Small Wars and the Rise of American Power

Fast delivery and well packaged, very pleased with the quality of service.

I recently read the book "The Savage Wars of Peace" by Max Boot and it was an incredible journey. The book is packed with detailed historical accounts and fascinating stories of conflicts the US has been involved in, providing rare perspective on American war history. The writing is clear and concise and the book is filled with personal stories and anecdotes that make it easy to relate to. Highly recommend this book to anyone looking to learn more about the history of American warfare and how it has shaped the growth of the nation.

Very happy with my order!

Boot challenges the popular narrative that small-scale military interventions are a post-Cold War aberration in the US military experience. To the contrary, he chronicles America’s extensive small war experience from Thomas Jefferson’s undeclared war on the Barbary states to the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Along the way Boot introduces the reader to colorful personalities involved in these small wars that keep the narrative highly readable. This volume is a must read for military history enthusiasts to get a full picture of the US military experience beyond the standard “big war” narrative.

Good book
