      abstract = {"Although conventionally treated as separate, America's  four wars in Asia were actually phases in a sustained U.S.  bid for regional dominance, according to Michael H. Hunt  and Steven I. Levine. This effort unfolded as an imperial  project in which military power and the imposition of  America's political will were crucial. Devoting equal  attention to Asian and American perspectives, the authors  follow the long arc of conflict across seventy-five years  from the Philippines through Japan and Korea to Vietnam,  tracing along the way American ambition, ascendance, and  ultimate defeat. They show how these wars are etched deeply  in eastern Asia's politics and culture."  - Publishers  description.},
