Description: "The United States has been fighting wars constantly since invading Afghanistan in 2001. This nonstop warfare is far less exceptional than it might seem: the US has been at war or has invaded other countries almost every year since independence. In [this book], David Vine traces this pattern of bloody, near-permanent conflict from Columbus's 1494 arrival in Guantanamo Bay through the 250-year expansion of a global US empire"--
Review Quotes: "A wide-ranging survey of the American way of war, expensive and incessant, in support of an empire we're not supposed to have. . . . Vine offers much to ponder about our militarized foreign policy and its deep antecedents."-- "Kirkus Reviews"
