The Savage Wars of Peace by Max Book is subtitled Small Wars and the Rise of American Power. It received Washington Post and Los Angeles Times Best Book of 2002. It also won the 2003 General Wallace M. Greene Jr. Award for best nonfiction pertaining to Marine Corp history.
America's small wars have played an essential but little appreciated role in growth as a world power. Beginning with Jefferson's expedition against the Barbary Pirates, the author tells the stories of our sometimes minor but often bloody landings in the Philippines, China, Latin America, Russia and elsewhere.
He re-examines the tragedy of Vietnam and concludes with a devastating critique of the Powell Doctrine and a convincing argument that the armed forces must reorient themselves to better handle small war missions.
