520    Veteran correspondent Kaplan shows how American 
       imperialism and the Global War on Terrorism are 
       implemented on the ground, mission by mission, in the most
       exotic landscapes around the world. Kaplan takes us from 
       the jungles of the southern Philippines to the dust bowls 
       of Mongolia, from the forts of Afghanistan to the forests 
       of South America--not to mention Iraq--to show us Army 
       Special Forces, Marines, and other uniformed Americans 
       carrying out the many facets of U.S. foreign policy: 
       negotiating with tribal factions, storming terrorist 
       redoubts, performing humanitarian missions and training 
       foreign soldiers. Kaplan provides an insider's account of 
       where America, including the culture of its officers and 
       enlisted men, is headed. This book has the potential to 
       change the way readers view the men and women of the 
       military, war, and the global reach of America today.--
