The story of the world’s only superpower, which went to war to impose its will on a faraway people it did not understand and underestimated—a people wouldn’t fight by its rules and won not only the war but destroyed its superpower status for all time. The story of the Revolutionary War and its parallels to the U.S. war in Iraq. By Sir Michael Rose, a brilliant retired British general who commanded the UN peacekeeping forces in Bosnia. Stunning.
