Washington's War: The American War of Independence to the Iraqi Insurgency Michael Rose
Pegasus, 2008
Michael Rose exposes a grim reality: Iraqi insurgents have adopted the same guerrilla warfare tactics used during the American Revolution. In June 1775, George Washington commanded a band of rebels who were, in the eyes of the British, nothing more than a collection of "vagrants, deserters and thieves." Yet he led them in a revolution against the British, which ended with an American victory. ...

Threshold Editions, 2008
How many reviewers actually purchased this book?
+ Counter Point to Pro-Obama Media Coverage + great book
It seems that the content of this book really doesn't matter to most of the reviewers. Amazon has unwittingly (or wittingly) just provided the Obama Maniacs a forum to vent their spleens. The few right wing reviewers seemed to like it.
