Negative Positive
Title: OK for a casual read, poor for anything else
Review: This book is suitable for an introductory overview of the larger wars in American history, but if you want anything more then look somewhere else. The authors often make fairly large generalizations based on limited evidence and their citations are difficult to follow given their confusing system of references. Instead of using the standard footnotes or endnotes, they use a "selected bibliography" format so it is almost impossible to tell where they got a specific piece of information from. The references listed in the "selected bibliography" as well as the full bibliography do not seem to be complete. I would not recommend this book.
