America invaded too often in a new book By Chris Kelly and Stuart Laycock

Larry Frost

   Christopher Kelly and Stuart Layclock co-wrote a book looking at Americas involvement in practically every country on the face of the Earth. The book is called "America Invades" and is written by a country by country account of the involvement of the military forces of the United States of America. Tis book looks at every little detail and color military affair of America with some countries obviously more than others getting more paragraphs and the unfortunate of more military involvement from this nation. A brilliant written book which you can read by country and at any order and has many minor details that you never learned in textbooks or other history books. I didn't know that over three thousand American troops were used by the British to land and fight in Columbia in 1741 decades before the American revolution. It was also interesting to read how few times we actually landed in Venezuela compared to other near by countries and how this drought was very close to being needed as the US wanted desperately to overthrow Hugo Chavez. What may have saved Chavez was indication and acknowledgment that we have already had far too big of a hand in this region and have done much more harm than good with are direct neo-colonialist attitude. The part on the Philippines is about as most disgusting and appalling of all of our engagements overseas. We also have had a long history of involvement in the North African region far before oil be me so essential to world economies and in essence we helped being down Islamic corsairs that were still preying on shipping in early 1800s.

This is a great book that shows the overreach and feudal mentality of our leaders trying to bring manifest destiny to far reaches of the globe where we sold have had no interest in interrupting internal progress of these independent lands.
