520 | 1 | _a"America's Splendid Little Wars shows how the United States - now the world's sole remaining superpower - has enforced the global "Pax Americana" by honing the military's capability to strike desired targets, and also by making sophisticated use of the media and public sentiment. From the 1975 operation to recover the hijacked merchant ship SS Mayaguez in the Gulf of Siam to the 1999 "relief intervention" in Kosovo, distinguished author and former U.S. naval captain Peter Huchthausen presents an intimate history of each military engagement through eyewitness accounts, thorough research, and his unique insider perspective as an intelligence expert."--BOOK JACKET. | |
