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. 000438730 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438730 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945$$zJapan. 000438730 650_0 $$aKorean War, 1950-1953. 000438730 650_0 $$aVietnam War, 1961-1975. 000438730 651_0 $$aAsia$$xHistory, Military$$y20th century. 000438730 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory, Military$$y20th century. 000438730 651_0 $$aAsia$$xStrategic aspects$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000438730 651_0 $$aPhilippines$$xHistory$$yPhilippine American War, 1899-1902. 000438730 7001_ $$aLevine, Steven I. 000438730 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHunt, Michael H.$$tArc of Empire : America's Wars in Asia from the Philippines to Vietnam$$dChapel Hill : The University of North Carolina Press,c2012$$z9780807835289 000438730 8520_ $$bacq 000438730 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000438730 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=837883$$zOnline Access 000438730 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438730$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438730 980__ $$aEBOOK 000438730 980__ $$aBIB 000438730 982__ $$aEbook 000438730 983__ $$aOnline
