Acclaimed author Kenneth C. Davis takes on America's iconic war stories inTHE HIDDEN HISTORY OF AMERICA AT WAR-now in paperback.

In prose that will remind you of "the best teacher you ever had" (People), Davis brings to life six emblematic battles, revealing untold tales that span our nation's history, from the Revolutionary War to Iraq. Along the way, he illuminates why we go to war, who fights, the grunt's-eye view of combat, and how these conflicts reshaped our military and national identity.

From the Battle of Yorktown (1781), where a fledgling America learned hard lessons about what kind of military it needed to survive, to Fallujah (2004), which epitomized the dawn of the privatization of war, THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF AMERICA AT WAR is an "informative, readable compendium of the many fallacies of modern warfare" (Kirkus).
