Entertaining story of the US military through the last 300 years. Crocker presents his views and opinions of the events, but well documented. ( )

An excellent book on the American military and small unit actions. A nice historical overview. It makes you realize how much the attitude of the public and it's support has for the military has changed since World War 2 and the effect that has had our ability to manage the outcome of world events. The indications are we have become a society that no longer has the will to see see things through - that we will cut and run if the going gets to hard, or victory is not achieved in a very short period of time.
