blueridge says:
Memorial Day has become a means of self-justification and propaganda to paint a picture of military operations through "remembering the dead" into National Righteousness.

Books like this one quickly counter and dispel such myths about the wars Americans have fought in, being misled by Presidents on a global agenda instead of wars of self-defense.

the eminent newsman, Edward R. Murrow, who snacked with FDR the night of Pearl Harbor, told his wife the president had revealed: "the biggest story of my life, but I don't know if it's my duty to tell it or forget it."

According to Stinnett, years after the war ended, Murrow informed another journalist: "That story would send Casey Murrow through college, and if you think I'm going to give it to you, you're out of your mind."
This article covers much more than this book, up to the present wars since 9/11, showing that "oil" plays an important role in each for Petro-Imperialism

See article for much more.

Another rewrite of history? Now we have even more reason to hate our country, thanks to the revisionist. They are doing a great service.

The history was already rewritten ("revisionist"), now we know "the rest of the story"--the authentic documented truth! The author was a decorated Navyman who served in a distinguished manner, and therefore highly credible. Look at this:

Robert Stinnett served under Lieutenant George Bush in the Navy from 1942 through 1946
