Description
This text chronicles the lives and dubious accomplishments of over 200 leading and lesser-known enemies of America - men and women who fought, plotted, spied on, and in some instances defeated US forces between 1700 and 2000. Present are Indian warriors, German and Japanese fighters, Confederate bushwhackers, Spanish admirals, and a host of femme fatales. Through these biographies, the reader is guided through numerous frontier wars, colonial conflicts, the American revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican and Civil Wars, the Philippine and Boxer insurrections, along with the major wars of the 20th century.
Reviews
"[A]n excellent biographical encyclopedia of the various military adversaries (naval, air, and land) America has faced since colonial times ... This well-done work is especially useful for those looking to begin research into those who led America's military adversaries. It should be included in all libraries." - American Reference Books Annual
