Cowardly America

About the Book

As the title suggests, Cowardly America attacks the United States policy of pusillanimity and cowardice following World War II. It pulls no punches regarding the timidity of Messrs. Carter, Clinton, Johnson and Truman. The book deals with six critical periods in American history: terrorism, the Iran hostage crisis, the USS Pueblo capture, the Berlin blockade, the Korean War and, to the contrary, American acts of courage. The international situations are described in detail, as well as America's feckless responses.
