Summary

Conventionally treated as separate America's four wars in Asia, according to Michael H. Hunt and Steven I. Levine, were actually phases in a sustained U.S. bid for regional dominance. This effort, they argue, 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, in order to trace American ambition, ascendance, and ultimate defeat. They show how these wars are etched deeply in Asia's politics and culture. The authors encourage readers to confront the imperial pattern in U.S. history with implications for today's Middle Eastern conflicts. They also offer a deeper understanding of China's rise and Asia's place in today's world.
