Twelve American Wars: Nine of Them Avoidable

In this study, author Eugene G. Windchy exposes the tricks, errors, and secret plans that have taken the American people into avoidable wars—and he recommends ways to prevent future bloodshed. Following up on his earlier book, Tonkin Gulf (“superb investigative reporting”--N. Y. Times) Windchy examines twelve wars and finds that nine of them could have been avoided. Even the Civil War could have been avoided or, failing that, it could have ended with much less bloodshed. The author documents evidence that the sinking of the Lusitania was planned by the British Admiralty, that President Woodrow Wilson was looking for a way to enter World War I as he campaigned for reelection with the slogan “He Kept Us Out of War,” and that civilians in Washington orchestrated the Tonkin Gulf incidents that led to American participation in the Vietnam War. Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it. If we want to live in peace, we must begin by examining Twelve American Wars.
