  Dominion War - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
The Dominion War was a two-year (late 2373-late 2375) interstellar conflict between the Dominion and the Federation Alliance that consumed the entire Alpha Quadrant in one of the most destructive wars in galactic history.
Despite the Dominion's arrival prior to the minefield's activation, the USS Defiant was able to successfully complete the deployment of the mines and activate it, thus preventing reinforcements from arriving in the Gamma Quadrant.
The war was officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Bajor, and all Dominion forces returned to the Gamma Quadrant with the exception of the head Founder who was to stand trial for war crimes.

 Star Trek: Tales of the Dominion War
The Dominion War on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was a major departure: the first time a Trek show has focused on a major military engagement for a period lasting longer than an episode or three.
Some of those were chronicled in the Next Generation books in the 1998 Dominion War tetralogy by John Vornholt, the 2002 TNG novel The Battle of Betazed by Charlotte Douglas and Susan Kearney, and the 2002 eBooks Star Trek: S.C.E: War Stories by yours truly.
Tales of the Dominion War at least touches on every aspect of the Trek universe, both televised and in prose form.

 Dominion War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fictional Star Trek universe, the Dominion War is a war between the Dominion and the Alpha Quadrant alliance of the United Federation of Planets, Klingon Empire, and the Romulan Star Empire.
By the time the war had ended, it is believed that the Klingons had lost a huge fraction of their military strength (1500 ships was the majority of the Klingon fleet prior to the final battles of the Dominion War).
In the immediate aftermath of the war, the Klingon Empire was left with its economy crippled and its military power reduced to a shadow of its former self, mirroring the state of the British Empire in the aftermath of the Second World War.

 Dominion (Star Trek) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dominion waged war on the United Federation of Planets and its allies in the late 24th century.
The Dominion was created over ten thousand years ago when the persecuted Changelings (a non-humanoid race of shape-shifters) decided that the only way they could defend themselves against the "solids" (as the Changelings call all other races) was by bringing them under their control.
The Dominion was unknown to the Alpha Quadrant powers until the discovery of the Bajoran wormhole in 2369, which facilitated exploration of the Gamma Quadrant.

 DOMINION OF WAR - Fred Anderson - Penguin Books
Unlike the three previous wars between Britain and France, this one ended in a decisive victory, as a result of which the North American empire of France ceased to exist and Spain (France’s ally in the final year of the war) was compelled to surrender its imperial claims east of the Mississippi River.
Americans continued to fight wars according to the just-war ideology first worked out in the War of 1812—the notion that to be justified wars must either protect or expand the sphere of liberty—and that they have applied, in one form or another, ever since.
The Dominion of War, in short, attempts to describe anew certain fundamental patterns of development and important sources of change over the longue durée of North America’s past, and thus to renarrate a tale we may too easily assume we know, with a significance we may too readily believe we understand.

Deciding that telepathy would be a valuable asset in their war, the Iconians secretly transfer the primitive beings from the Vagra star system to a safe staging area closer to their own space - the first planet of the binary Sheliak system.
By the time the wars end, much of Orion civilization is in ruins, and their advanced technology lost.
The war between the Parada homeworld and the Parada colonies on Parada IV comes to an end, when contact is made with the Skreean species, who ask the two planets for assistance in their war against the T-Roggorian Imperium.

 The Dominion War
Once the Dominion achieved a foothold in the Alpha Quadrant via Gul Dukat's betrayal of the Cardassians,1 many analysts claimed that war was inevitable.
It was hoped that this would provoke the Dominion into an attack on Deep Space Nine; Starfleet knew that the capabilities of the new weapons array on the station would be common knowledge after the Klingon attack, and hoped that this would make the Dominion commit a large force from the nearest fleet base.
The wormhole remained closed, and although the station remained in Dominion hands it was able to contribute little to the war due to the sabotage undertaken by the crew when they abandoned it.

 Dominion War
Chancellor Gowron of the Klingon Empire, in the face of the Dominion threat, is convinced by Captain Benjamin Sisko to re-enter the Khitomer accords with the United Federation of Planets.
Consisting of 112 starships, the 7th Fleet was pitted against 248 Dominion and Cardassian warship; in the ensuing battle, 98 Federation starships and 24,000 Starfleet personnel are lost.
The Dominion shrugs this off as self-replication by pre-programmed support systems rather than the active work of Jem'hadar or Breen troops or other pro-Dominion forces, and though this is not entirely believed, the complaint dies at the delegation table.

 Min Zife - Non-canon Star Trek Wiki - A Wikia wiki
Dominion forces were able to occupy much of Federation space near the Cardassian border, while Starbase Deep Space 9 had been captured and occupied, with the minefield threatening to be dismantled.
The Dominion War formally ended in December of 2375 at a ceremony aboard Deep Space 9, unattended by Zife but presided over by the Klingon Chancellor, a Romulan senator, and Starfleet Admiral William Ross.
Throughout this period, the Federation struggled with a seccessionist movement that was prompted by the economic crisis of war recovery, as many worlds resented being forced to contribute resources to worlds devestated during the Dominion War even as those selfsame worlds felt ignored by the Federation.

Some Civil War fighting units, like the famous Confederate Stonewall Brigade or the Union's Irish Brigade, made a name for themselves from the very beginning of their service.
The grouping, which came to be called the Old Dominion Brigade as the war progressed, was fortunate in that three of its first regimental colonels had military educations.
The regiment was raised mostly from Norfolk and Greenville counties.

Keith R.A. DeCandido's War Stories duology focuses on the crew of the USS da Vinci, a ship assigned to the Starfleet Corps of Engineers and starring in an eBooks series, and tells of significant events experienced by members of the da Vinci crew during the Dominion War.
War Stories is a book about history, not just of the universe but of the characters, showing us glimpses of who and where the SCE characters were before we first meet them in Belly of the Beast.
War Stories is also a change-of-pace from previous SCE eBooks in that engineering problems are not the focus of the story.

The Cardassians, aided by their newfound allies, the Dominion, have started a war with the Federation.
There are refugee ships to be escorted, Dominion sensor arrays to be raided, the Ketra-cel factory to be eliminated, and intense "last-ship-flying-wins" laser fights.
Dominion Wars bares a striking resemblance to Starfleet Command, but where Starfleet is an in-depth tactical simulation, Dominion Wars is straight up strategy-action.

 'The Dominion of War' by Fred Anderson and Andrew Cayton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
War, say historians Fred Anderson and Andrew Cayton, is as American as mom and apple pie.
Anderson is best known for "Crucible of War," his prize-winning history of the Seven Years' War, and its North American component, the French and Indian War.
For every struggle like World War II, which liberated Western Europe from the Nazis, the authors offer counterexamples of wars fought in places like the Philippines and Haiti for reasons other than the spread of freedom.

 The Dominion War
Carey is an excellent storyteller and particularly excels at adapting screenplays; her novelizations of Voyager's "Flashback" and "Equinox" were considerably better than the episodes themselves, while her print version of "What You Leave Behind" proved her grasp of the DS9 characters.
Books 2 and 4 of The Dominion War summarize the episodes "Call To Arms," "A Time To Stand," "Sons and Daughters," "Rocks and Shoals," "Behind the Lines," "Favor the Bold," and "The Sacrifice of Angels," which is a lot of material to fit in a little over 500 pages.
Indeed, this tragedy is at the heart of much fan criticism of the Dominion War as a concept: it's a direct challenge to Roddenberry's belief in a spirit of progress fueled by mutual respect and cooperation.

Patrolling the Cardassian border and bracing for an imminent joint Dominion-Cardassian offensive, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise are reunited with Ro Laren.
Virtually all of the books I had read referred to the war with The Dominion, so it was clear this 4 part series was important to putting many other books in their proper perspective,
The Federation is in the midst of a war and a pretty severe beating when Ro Laren once again finds herself face to face with the captain she once betrayed.

The ensuing wars were justified as defensive in nature but were waged offensively and produced (with a few notable exceptions) the expansion of American power, initially across the continent, then throughout the hemisphere and ultimately around the world.
Rather than bringing "peace," American wars fought to advance the cause of freedom and dominion have generated a backwash of dissatisfaction and instability, inevitably leading to new wars fought at the urging of politicians promising that, this time, freedom will prevail and lasting peace be assured.
For example, the French and Indian War, which mid-18th-century Americans supported to ensure that the rights of Englishmen would prevail in North America, lit the fuse that soon culminated in revolutionary violence to overturn British rule, which was viewed by 1776 as arbitrary and illegitimate.

The best way to do this is to flank the Dominion forces from the bottom (either you or the Kligons if you let them have some Cardassian planets earlier, each Kami K’tinga call kill a battleship by itself) at Kera II while fending off their attacks near Bajor.
The prophets re-open the wormhole and after a final massive engagement between the main Dominion Fleet and Alpha Quadrant forces, the Dominion is vanquished.

 Military Hunting - DOMINION OF WAR: EMPIRE & LIBERTY IN NORTH AMERICA, 1500-2000
In The Dominion of War, historians Fred Anderson and Andrew Cayton boldly reinterpret the development of the United States, arguing instead that war has played a leading role in shaping North America from the 16th century to the present.
This approach enables them to describe great events in concrete terms and to illuminate critical connections between often-forgotten imperial conflicts, such as the Seven YearsÆ War and the Mexican- American War, and better-known events such as the War of Independence and the Civil War.
The erroneous overemphasis on American exceptionalism receives, in The Dominion of War, another telling body blow.
