The Savage Wars of Peace: Small Wars and the Rise of American Power
Max Boot
Beginning with Thomas Jefferson's expedition against the Barbary Pirates and moving onto the Boxer Rebellion, the occupations in Haiti, Nicaragua and the Philippines, and the conflicts in Bosnia, Somalia, Haiti, Kosovo, and Afghanistan, this book shows how these smaller actions have been essential to the growth and projection of American power.
