from Vintage
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
A central thesis of Kaplan's book is that the U.S. is now an empire with global reach. I just don't agree with his premise. If we are an empire, we're pretty bad at it. What is true is that the U.S. military has succumbed to "mission creep" with little or no public debate. Why are we training troops... more info

It has been SO LONG since I've read a book that I could not put down, and that I didn't end up dozing off with late at night. I work in a bookstore, I read all genres.

This is a LONG audiobook (over 10 hours), but I couldn't stop listening to it.
