The American Way of War Pack

Three ziplock back issues for just $66.00!

The American Way of War package ...

What a great way to introduce yourself (or a friend) to ATO games, or catch up on back issues you've been meaning to get. A price like this is almost "buy 2, get one free." Don't miss it!

Throughout most of its history, America has gone to war with enthusiasm and expectations of a quick victory. It has not always worked that way. In the end, massive resources have -- usually -- tipped the balance toward America's goals...but even that has sometimes had mixed results. (See "War with Spain -- Philippine Insurrection.")

Welcome to the American Way of War, an historical mixture of misplaced efforts, and massive resources to redeem them.

Now, here is your chance to pick up award-winning titles at a bargain price - but that's "The American Way of doing business."

Not War, But Murder

Not War, But Murder depicts the Cold Harbor campaign, including the only battle Ulysses Grant ever admitted regretting, as part of a campaign that R.E. Lee considered a close run thing with not a single regiment in reserve. Mistakes and successes here prolonged the American Civil War by another year...murder indeed.

Khe Sahn, 1968

And Khe Sahn, 1968 depicts another kind of madness, as both sides of the Vietnam conflict make a maximum effort for a place one U.S. general said, "When you're at Khe Sanh, you're not really anywhere. You could lose it and you really haven't lost a damn thing." This is a reprint of ATO #2, our first Charles Roberts Award winner for 2002.
