Book Description:
In February 1941, Henry Luce announced the arrival of “The American Century”. But that century – extending from World War II to the recent economic collapse – has now ended, victim of strategic miscalculation, military misadventures, and economic decline. Here some of America’s most distinguished historians place the century in historical perspective.
Reviews:
“Bracing and provocative.” Kirkus Review
“This collection of essays constitutes a how-to manual for people who sense something deeply wrong with the current bipartisan consensus on American power, but can’t quite articulate what it is.” Nick Baumann, Commonweal
