Italy Invades: How Italians Conquered the World: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Italy Invades: How Italians Conquered the World" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Italy Invades, full of restless adventurers, canny generals, and the occasional scoundrel, is a fast-paced and compelling read, the perfect sequel to America Invades.
Recreating their success with America Invades, Christopher Kelly and Stuart Laycock take another global tour, this time starting from Italy and exploring that countrys military involvements throughout the ancient and modern worlds. From the empire building of the Romans, through the globe-spanning Age of Exploration, to the multinational cooperation of NATO, Italy has conquered and explored countries as diverse and far-ranging as Cape Verde and Mongolia and Uruguay. With the additional guide of maps and photographs, the reader can visually follow the Italians as they conquer the world.
The book also contains an excerpt from the never before published An Adventure in 1914, written by Christopher Kellys maternal great-grandfather, Thomas Tileston Wells. Wells served as the American consul general to Romania each summer; and in the summer of 1914, as war exploded across Europe, he was there with his wife and two children.

PRAISE FOR AMERICA INVADES

Italy Invades How Italians Conquered the World - image 1

An intensive compendium of Americas interactions, both good and bad, with other countries that rightly leaves out the philosophizing.

Kirkus Reviews

This informative yet entertaining history text presents a factual account of United States military involvement throughout the world.

Foreword Reviews

Provides a perspective and approach to American history that should be brought to the attention of every U.S. citizen.

Midwest Book Review

This is a fresh new approach to military history. I was astonished by many of the things I learned about Americans fighting throughout the world. Dont let the provocative title fool you, every American who cares about the military should read this book.

General Barry McCaffrey, US Army, (Ret.)

History but entertaining

Gerard Richardson, MBE

Founder Whitehaven Festival

With wit, insight, and no small amount of shock and awe, Chris Kelly and Stuart Laycock have come up with a fascinating compendium of American military invasions around the world. The writing is brisk and chatty, the history is fascinating, and the message is arresting no matter where you are on the political spectrum. This should be required reading by American presidents.

William Dietrich

Author of The Three Emperors: An Ethan Gage Adventure

I would have lost the bet. I had no idea that the United States over its history has invaded almost HALF the countries on the globe. Thats an astounding amount of K-rations and munitions and mayhem, however well-intentioned. Authors Laycock and Kelly, with breezy wit and a dogged pursuit of neutrality, deliver a country-by-country compendium of U.S. intervention. Use it as reference; or, read it cover to cover, sea to shining sea, for the adventures and misadventures of American attacks on foreign soil. An eye-opener! A mind-expander! Can an attack on Bhutan or Lichtenstein be far off? One important final note: this book is written with respect for the men and women of the U.S. armed forces.

Richard Zacks

Author of The Pirate Coast: Thomas Jefferson, the First Marines and the Secret Mission of 1805

Simultaneously readable and reference material, destined to become the go-to for those who want to understand Americas placeliterally anywherein the world.

William Bernstein

Author of The Birth of Plenty

The breadth of research is amazing, and from A-Z, Americas involvement is astounding. From mans first sailing ventures to present day, this book encapsulates Americas reach around the globe.

Denise Frisino

Author Whiskey Cove

Plenty of books have been written about specific invasions and their history, but few have undertaken a comprehensive survey of all the countries America has either invaded outright or been militarily involved in. Enter America Invades: How Weve Invaded or been Militarily Involved with Almost Every Country on Earth: an eye-opening examination that doesnt limit itself to one nation, one period of time, or one approach. There are many surprises here, including the fact that the USs first major invasion in 1741 helped George Washington name his Mount Vernon home; and that Norwegian scientists nearly began World War III after the Cold Wars end.
