Empire by Default by Ivan Musicant6/29/2023 In his gripping account based on primary sources, Ivan Musicant re~creates the experiences of the men who served: daring feats that have become the stuff of military lore, unsung day~to~day duties, successes and failures. It concerns most of all the men sent to maintain order in remote locales~the military governors, generals, and officers~and also the State Department officials, congressmen, and Presidents who pulled the strings back home. The Banana Wars is the first history of the rise of the United States as a military power in this hemisphere~ from the Spanish~American War in 1898 to the recent Grenadan and Panamanian interventions. Until now, no comprehensive military history has documented this controversial, evolving chapter in the story of our nation. expeditions have taken our military into the unfamiliar and turmoil~stricken terrains of Cuba, Panama, Nicaragua, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Grenada. military involvement has proved more extensive than the one arising from our commitment to maintain LatinAmerican and Caribbean stability. no library markings, store stamps, stickers, bookplates, no names, inking, underlining, remainder markings etc~. not worn or torn or price clipped (no price listed). top edge has faint fox spots, other edges clean. dustwrapper in protective plastic book jacket cover.
