World War II marked the apogee of industrialized "total war." Great powers savaged one another. Mobilization extended to virtually every sector of every nation. Hostilities engulfed the globe.
The devastation was catastrophic almost everywhere, with the notable exception of the United States, which exited the strife unscathed and unmatched in power and influence. Air war, including the terror bombing of civilians, emerged as a central strategy of the victorious Anglo-American powers. The death toll of fighting forces plus civilians worldwide was staggering.The Violent American Century addresses the U.S.-led transformations in war conduct and strategizing that followed 1945--beginning with brutal localized hostilities, proxy wars, and the nuclear terror of the Cold War, and ending with the asymmetrical conflicts of the present day.
