American Foreign Policy and Its Thinkers

More about the book

The book explores the complex relationship between the United States' self-image and its imperial ambitions, tracing this evolution from the end of World War II through the Cold War and into the War on Terror. It examines both mainstream strategists and unconventional foreign policy thinkers, highlighting the ongoing tensions between America's imperial reach and its role in global capitalism. Despite the USSR's collapse, the author argues that the mechanisms for warfare and surveillance have expanded rather than diminished, leaving the future of American Empire uncertain.
