Military Historian's New Book Takes In-Depth Look At America's Military Actions Around The World
(CBS) -- As the nation observes Memorial Day, a new book takes an in-depth look at America's many military actions over its history.
The book is "America Invades: How We've Invaded or Been Militarily Involved With Almost Every Country on Earth" and is written by military historian Christopher Kelly along with Stuart Laycock.
Kelly tells WBBM that the book depicts how the U.S. has invaded or fought in 85 out of 194 countries in the world and has had some form of military involvement with a spectacular 191 out of 194 of them. Kelly says the three countries without involvement with the U.S. military are Andorra, Bhutan and Lichtenstein,
But, Kelly says his book is not anti-military.
"We need to remember the sacrifice that was made for our country and for the freedom of many others throughout the world."
Five percent of the proceeds of sales of "America Invades" go to military charities.
