Summary, etc. | Argues that the United States is the greatest empire the world has yet seen, and that its history as such is largely unexceptional. However the American empire is unusual in that it denies its empirical ambitions, has proven surprisingly inept, and is unwilling to make the necessary long-term commitment to ensure success. The author attempts to discover why, when many parts of the world would actually benefit from a period of American rule, and when the USA seems to have the economic, military, and political capability to do this, it chooses not to. |
