"Talk about politically incorrect!Don't Tread on Meis the best, most entertaining account of the American warrior I've ever read. Crocker gets it! So will you." -Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson, U.S. Air Force (Ret.), former military aide to the president, bestselling author ofDereliction of DutyandWar Crimes "Robust and provocative,Don't Tread on Meis a unique addition to any library of American history-and it might try to annex your neighboring volumes." -Tony Blankley, McLaughlin Group panelist, bestselling author ofThe West's Last Chance "InDon't Tread on Me, Crocker writes manfully of our nation's proud martial spirit that is assailed on so many sides today. I was ready to head to the nearest armed forces recruiting office after reading it." -Steven F. Hayward, author ofChurchill on LeadershipandThe Age of Reagan, 19641980 "The central thrust of Harry Crocker's sparkling book is that a nation's very essence is reflected in the character of its military, that its history is written in the blood and courage of its fighting men. In prose as unblinking as it is fast-moving, he tells the story of the creation of the 'American Empire.' This book is a true one-of-a-kind; its power flows from Crocker's focus on the dauntless warriors who forged and safeguarded the United States of America." -Lt. Gen. Dave R. Palmer, U.S. Army (Ret.), former superintendent of West Point, author ofGeorge Washington and Benedict Arnold: A Tale of Two Patriots "Don't Tread on Meis that rare but admirable thing-a book written from a Tory, Imperialist, Southern Gentleman's perspective. Winston Churchill and Andrew Jackson would both be proud. A rousing read through the rattling good tales of American history." -John O'Sullivan, editor-at-large forNational Review "A book as dashing, formidable, and triumphant as the American fighting man it describes." -Bernard Cornwell, author ofSharpe's Furyand the bestselling Richard Sharpe series, "Talk about politically incorrect!

Synopsis
- Did America win its independence because British generals were too busy canoodling with their mistresses? - Should America have annexed Mexico-- all of it-- and Cuba too? - Did 1776 justify Southern secession in the nineteenth century? - Should Patton have been promoted over Eisenhower? - Did the U.S. military win-- and Congress lose-- the Vietnam War? - Was it right to depose Saddam Hussein-- and is it wrong to worry about a possible Iraqi civil war? The answer to these questions is a resounding yes, says author H. W. Crocker III in this stirring and contrarian new book. In "Don' t Tread on Me," Crocker unfolds four hundred years of American military history, revealing how Americans were born Indian fighters whose military prowess carved out first a continental and then a global empire-- a Pax Americana that has been a benefit to the world. From the seventeenth century on, he argues, Americans have shown a jealous regard for their freedom-- and have backed it up with an unheralded skill in small-unit combat operations, a tradition that includes Rogers' Rangers, Merrill' s Marauders, and today' s Special Forces. He shows that Americans were born to the foam too, with a mastery of naval gunnery and tactics that allowed America' s Navy, even in its infancy, to defeat French and British warships and expand American commerce on the seas. Most of all, Crocker highlights the courage of the dogface infantry, the fighting leathernecks, and the daring sailors and airmen who have turned the tide of battle again and again. In" Don' t Tread on Me,"still forests are suddenly pierced by the Rebel Yell and a surge of grey. Teddy Roosevelt' s spectacles flash in the sunlight as he leads his Rough Riders charging up San Juan Hill. American doughboys rip into close-quarters combat against the Germans. Marines drive the Japanese out of their island fortresses using flamethrowers, grenades, and guts. GIs slug their way into Hitler' s Germany. The long twilight struggle against communism is fought in the snows of Korea and the steaming jungles of Vietnam. And today, U.S. Navy SEALs and U.S. Army Rangers battle Islamist terrorists in the bleak mountains of Afghanistan, just as their forebears fought Barbary pirates two hundred years ago. Fast-paced and riveting, "Don' t Tread on Me" is a bold look at the history of America at war. Also available as an eBook, The author of "Triumph" and "Robert E. Lee on Leadership" challenges readers to rethink American history in this sweeping, colorful, and controversial look at the wars, military adventures, and foreign and military policy of the United States over its entire history., The author of Triumph and Robert E. Lee on Leadership challenges readers to rethink American history in this sweeping, colorful, and controversial look at the wars, military adventures, and foreign and military policy of the United States over its entire history.
