How America Got It Right: The U.S. March to Military and Political Supremacy by Bevin Alexander is exactly the kind of book I like to read. It is like the script to a History Channel special, though one made of this book would have to be 4 hours long or so. It is very easy to read, and for me a great refresher on some of the minutia of American history that I love so much, e.g. "54-40 or fight!" and the genius of men like Pershing, Patton and Teddy Roosevelt. A great survey of American military history, and something that would probably make a great Father's Day gift this June for History Channel loving Dads everywhere.

I enjoyed it, and I recommend a perusal. 4 1/2 stars.
