America Invaded: Book Tour Schedule 2017

Hitting the Road!
8/17/17 - 10/12/17

I am thrilled to be launching the America Invaded book tour this week.  Major Jack Coughlin (USAF ret.) and I will be driving in our Sprinter van across the USA to promote the launch of America Invaded: A State by State Guide to Fighting on American Soil.  Our tour will include stops at two battleships, many bookstores, several military museums and at least five libraries.  We will be attending four Italian events where the focus will be on our earlier book Italy Invades: How Italians Conquered the World.

In America Invades (2014, www.americainvades.com) Kelly and Laycock wrote about American military involvement around the globe devoting a chapter to every country in the world.  The one country they left out was the United States of America.  With their new sequel, America Invaded: A State by State Guide to Fighting on American Soil (www.americainvaded.com) they turned this approach on its head.  Their new book features conflicts with indigenous people, the American Revolution, the Civil War, Axis submarines off the American coastline in World War II and even the terrorist attacks of the 21st Century.  America Invaded explains how invasions and fighting in all fifty states helped shape them with repercussions that are with us today.

The initial response to America Invaded has been excellent...

"Unique, informative, exceptionally well written, organized and presented, "America Invaded: A State by State Guide to Fighting on American Soil" is an inherently fascinating read..."  Midwest Book Review

"Easy to browse and easy to enjoy...America Invaded is a fun jumping-off point for discussions about history."  Foreword Reviews


"Kelly and Laycock are masters of the fascinating factoid...All told, this is a worthwhile addition to the authors’ invasion series."  Kirkus Reviews

We look forward to seeing you on the road!
