This work chronicles the lives and accomplishments of over 200
enemies who have fought, plotted, spied on, and in some instances
defeated U.S. forces over the past three centuries. Books on
American military heroes abound. But this book is the first to
focus on America's talented enemies—the generals, admirals,
Indian chiefs and warriors, submarine captains, fighter pilots, and
spies who opposed the United States with military force or other
means. Often these military leaders were among the best minds of
their times. For more than two centuries, the new nation's most
constant military opponents were the Native Americans, led by such
capable chiefs as American Horse and Little Wolf. Under
D'Iberville, Canada's French colonialists became formidable foes,
but they were soon surpassed by the rigorously disciplined redcoats
of Great Britain under Howe and Cornwallis. Ironically, the most
effective enemies in the history of the United States were not the
leaders of foreign military forces—like Mexico's Santa Anna,
Japan's Yamamoto, or Vietnam's Vo Nguyen Giap. They arose from
among its own citizens during the Civil War, the bloodiest conflict
in American history.
