It is the best synthesis of the American way of war discourse to date and a must-read for students, scholars, service personnel, and government officials interested in military history. On Point Antulio Echevarria II has written an excellent book for historians, military professionals, and others with a good grasp of the history of America's wars. However, his concise survey of over two hundred years of American military strategy and operations will also be useful in college courses. Michigan War Studies Review Provides valuable synopses of the most important campaigns and explains what they reveal about developments in military practice, demonstrating the variety of ways in which US leaders have adapted their approaches to military force to fit the circumstances. Foreign Affairs Provides a valuable counterpoint to a topic relevant to current debates about American strategy and policy. It is always beneficial to understand clearly from whence one comes before determining where one ought to go. -- Lieutenant Colonel Brian L. Steed, US Army Proceedings Asserts quite convincingly that what people actually did is at least as important and instructive as what they thought or said. -- US Military History Review Robert S. Ehlers, Jr.
