THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF AMERICA AT WAR Untold Tales from Yorktown to Fallujah

Author Davis, along with Arthur Morey and Mark Bramhall, do a credible job in reading this look at the all-too-human side of Americans at war. Looking at the U.S. soldier in battle at Yorktown (1781), Petersburg (1864-65), Balangiga (1901), Berlin (1945), Hue (1968), and Fallujah (2003), Davis seems almost surprised that the American soldier is human. In the "hidden" history, he mentions that American troops have committed "atrocities" in wartime, just like any other army throughout history. Morey, Bramhall, and Boehmer are more polished than author Davis as they alternate reading the accounts of the battles. Davis delivers the introduction and afterword.
