In my recent review [
http://jeffersonreview.com/articles/2001/11

1201/reassessing.htm ] of the book "Reassessing the Presidency," I mentioned that the editor of that book, John V. Denson, had also edited another, entitled: "The Costs of War: America's Pyrrhic Victories." The link below is to an excerpt from "The Cost of War," which, I thought MIGHT be of some interest - both to those who read my review, and were considering reading that book, and to
those who may be considering reading "The Costs of War." Regardless, the
exerpt itself is both interesting and informative reading, that I thought others might enjoy as well. - CAB
