<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This volume brings together international experts on American history and foreign affairs to assess the cumulative impact of the United States' often halting and conflicted attempts to end wars.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan: Taken together, these conflicts are the key to understanding more than a half century of American military history. In addition, they have shaped, in profound ways, the culture and politics of the United States--as well as the nations in which they have been fought. This volume brings together international experts on American history and foreign affairs to assess the cumulative impact of the United States' often halting and conflicted attempts to end wars. It offers essential perspectives on the Cold War and post-9/11 eras and explores the troubling implications of the American tendency to fight wars without end.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p> <em>"We have endless books on the origins of America's wars, but far fewer that examine the crucial question of how the conflicts are terminated. Not Even Past is therefore hugely welcome. Featuring lucid and penetrating essays by a stellar roster of scholars, the volume provides deep insights into one of the grand puzzles of the age: why the U.S. has so often failed to exit wars on its terms."</em> <strong>- Fredrik Logevall</strong>, Laurence D. Belfer Professor of International Affairs, Harvard University</p> <p> <em>"The accessible essays in this volume comprise a timely contribution to the current scholarship. The continued presence of the United States in Afghanistan makes it all the more salient."</em> <strong>- Sarah Kreps</strong>, Cornell University</p> <p> <em>"</em>Not Even Past <em>is that rare edited collection where each successive essay holds to the standard of the rest, bringing with it insights and delights in every chapter. This book provides a very important and historically informed perspective."</em> <strong>- Jeffrey A. Engel</strong>, Southern Methodist University</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>John M.
