Wayne E. Lee

Barbarians and Brothers

Anglo-American Warfare, 1500-1865

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Historian Wayne Lee here presents a searching exploration of early modern English and American warfare, including the English Civil War and the American Revolution. He shows that, in the end, the repeated experience of wars with barbarians or brothers created an American culture of war that demands absolute solutions: enemies are either to be incorporated or rejected, included or excluded.
