Summary
It is a remarkable twist in history that over a period of 30 years the only full-fledged military campaigns waged by the United States have been initiated by a father and son-the two presidents Bush.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
”…an informed, sophisticated and subtle book, rich in anecdote and laced with a veteran military historian’s sardonic doubts of the credulity that amateurs bring to warfare. Tanner dissects the apocalyptic language in which George W. Bush defines (or misdefines) American strategic interests …anyone in search of a sober take on our current military enterprises should read this brilliant book.“–Edwin Yoder “The Washington Post ” “… argues convincingly, in commonsensical prose, that to restore its credibility in the region the United States must return to Bush senior’s multinational approach, focus resources on al Qaeda, and bring a just and equitable peace to the people of Israel and Palestine. A timely study; highly recommended for all collections.”–Library Journal
