The U.S. War Against Asia
by William P. Meyers

Note: This is a work in progress, and one I am not likely to finish (short of receiving a grant or an offer from a larger publisher) for some time. Everything posted here should be considered a draft. Many of the subject lines are not linked yet because I have not done the writing for them yet. I am posting my notes for the project so that this information is available on the Net without waiting for draft chapters to be written.
