Book, Osprey Publishing, Balkan air wars 1991-2000, 2000
Exposing the true scale and significance of the deployment of air power in the Balkans, this book details the activities of NATO and UN aircraft as well as local pilots in the former Yugoslavia. From bombing by B-2 stealth bombers to air-to-air combat; from moving ground troops by helicopter to 'food-bombing' for refugees, air power has played a vital role in ''Europe's Vietnam'', and there is little sign that the fires of conflict are being extinguished. Debate amongst air power practitioners has yielded little agreement as to the degree of damage inflicted on the Yugoslav 3rd Army in Kosovo.Ill, maps, p.63.non-fictionExposing the true scale and significance of the deployment of air power in the Balkans, this book details the activities of NATO and UN aircraft as well as local pilots in the former Yugoslavia.

Book, Liska, George, War and Order: Reflections on Vietnam and History, 1968
A proponent of the war, Professor Liska here offers an original conceptual perspective for assessing our involvement, based on an imperial obligation for the United States to uphold world order, as distinct from the quest for colonies. His central thesis is simple: like it or not, the power and wealth of the United States force her to have world-wide interest and responsibilities.A proponent of the war, Professor Liska here offers an original conceptual perspective for assessing our involvement, based on an imperial obligation for the United States to uphold world order, as distinct from the quest for colonies.
