In this thoroughly updated second edition, Derek S. Reveron provides a comprehensive analysis of the shift in US foreign policy from coercive diplomacy to cooperative military engagement. The US military does much more than fight wars; it responds to humanitarian crises and natural disasters, assists advanced militaries to support international peace, and trains and equips almost every military in the world. Rather than intervening directly, the United States can respond to crises by sending weapons, trainers, and advisers to assist other countries in tackling their own security deficits created by subnational, transnational, and regional challengers. By doing so, the United States seeks to promote partnerships and its soft power, strengthen the state sovereignty system, prevent localized violence from escalating into regional crises, and protect its national security by addressing underlying conditions that lead to war. Since coalition warfare is the norm, security cooperation also ensures partners are interoperable with US forces when the US leads international military coalitions. Exporting Security takes into account the Obama administration's foreign policy, the implications of more assertive foreign policies by Russia and China, and the US military's role in recent humanitarian crises and nation-building efforts.

The compelling account of the fight for the Continental capital, based on surviving accounts of soldiers and civilians"The Philadelphia Campaign is first-rate, an absorbing work of tenacious research and close scholarship. Thomas J. McGuire knows the time of the American Revolution and has been over the ground in and about Philadelphia in a way few writers ever have. But it is his empathy for the human reality of war and the great variety of people caught up in it, whether in the service of the king or the Glorious Cause of America, that makes this book especially alive and memorable." --David McCullough, author of John Adams and 1776

In this compelling new account of the American Civil War, noted historian David Eicher gives us an authoritative history of battle from the first shots at Fort Sumter to Lee's surrender at Appomattox. As a strictly military history, The Longest Night covers hundreds of engagements, both well known and obscure, including the oft-neglected Western theater and naval actions along the coasts and rivers. The result is a gripping popular history that will fascinate anyone just learning about the Civil War while offering more than a few surprises for longtime students. Drawing on hundreds of sources and excerpts from correspondence by those who fought the war, The Longest Night conveys a real sense of life -- and death -- on the battlefield. In addition, Eicher analyzes each side's evolving strategy; examines the tactics of Lee, Grant, Johnston, and Sherman; and discusses significant topics such as prisons, railroads, shipbuilding, clandestine operations, and the role of African-Americans in the war.

As he carefully considers the cultural forces that surrounded each military engagement, Adrian Lewis offers an original and provocative look at the motives people and governments used to wage war, the discord among military personnel, the flawed political policies that guided military strategy, and the civilian perceptions that characterized each conflict. With each chapter similarly structured to allow the reader to draw parallels between the wars, Lewis deftly traces the evolution of US military strategy since the Second World War.

Dilsberg is a quiet historic village in Germany, and in 1973, it is the home of Max Watts, a journalist and antiwar activist. The US Army is so interested in Max that it taps his phone and intercepts his mail. Specialist Mike McDougal is a clerk in a military intelligence unit near Dilsberg. When he stumbles upon the wiretap transcripts of Max's conversations, he shoves them under his shirt and shows them to his visiting girlfriend Danielle. At night, in Danielle's tent, the two pore over the documents and discover a vast US Army surveillance operation targeting US and German peace activists. Mike turns over the classified documents to the journalist and soon the story hits the front page of the New York Times, causing an uproar in Germany. Then the army discovers Mike is the leak. In her memoir, Danielle Jaussaud uses the newspaper clippings, photographs and notes she collected during her stay in Germany to reconstruct the twists and turns of a year in which Mike fought a US Army intent on putting him in jail. A gripping and suspenseful personal account, The Dilsberg Engagement is a political thriller that illustrates government abuse of power, but it is also the story of two young people who discover who they are and test the depth of their relationship as they innocently take on the most powerful army in the world.
