The Failure of America's Foreign Wars strips away the truth-obscuring nostalgia for America's foreign wars and shows the perverse and bloody consequences of these wars. "'The Failure of America's Foreign Wars' contains a vitally important message and makes for genuinely refreshing reading. The two marvelously insightful articles contributed by Ralph Raico alone--one the case for an America First foreign policy and the turning point in American foreign policy--are well worth the price of admission." -- Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Professor of Economics, University of Nevada Las Vegas "The failure of America's foreign wars has been the vry freedoms they sought to preserve. For a wide audience, these collected essays summarize the historical revisionism which has gradually exposed the propaganda, lies, and myths that led America into World Wars I and II. As true libertarians know, war has ever been the health of the state. In our own time, it is clear that wars, hot and cold, have been responsible for the enormous taxes, deficits, and governmental spending that have created the welfare-warfare state so beloved by the social engineers and economic planners of the federal bureaucracy. If foreign wars have been America's chief failure, its great success has been the historic peace and freedoms, the individual liberties and responsibility, to which we must now return. All this, and more, the editors and contributors point out well and clearly in their valuable collection of original articles and book reviews." -- Arthur A.
