"Although conventionally treated as separate, America's four wars in Asia were actually
phases in a sustained U.S. bid for regional dominance, according to Michael H. Hunt
and Steven I. Levine. This effort unfolded as an imperial project in which military
power and the imposition of America's political will were crucial. Devoting equal
attention to Asian and American perspectives, the authors follow the long arc of conflict
across seventy-five years from the Philippines through Japan and Korea to Vietnam,
tracing along the way American ambition, ascendance, and ultimate defeat. They show
how these wars are etched deeply in eastern Asia's politics and culture." - Publishers
