Americas Forgotten Wars: From Lord Dunmore to the Philippines Hernon Ian
Americans know about the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the world wars, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq/Afghanistan, but the many in-between conflicts have been erased from public memory. The Texas-Mexico border conflict (1917) saw Hispanic farmers murdered as America prepared to invade south of the border--no Trump Wall then. Many of the forgotten conflicts have a particular resonance now.
This book is full of surprises, many of them colored by irony and often tragedy: the Barbary Wars (1801-3) were fought to end the North African slave trade. The US kept 150 men as official POWs for 36 years after a conflict that ended in 1873--which one? The Philippines War of 1899 caused the death of over 200,000 civilians.
