Description

This book features the 21st-century United States through the lens of global history.

What road did Americans travel to reach global preeminence?

Taking the long historical view, Hunt demonstrates that wealth, confidence, and leadership were key elements to America's ascent.

In an analytic narrative that illuminates the past rather than indulges in political triumphalism, he provides crucial insights into the country's problematic place in the world today.

Hunt charts America's rise to global power from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to a culminating multilayered dominance achieved in the mid-twentieth century.

He examines how the United States remade great power relations, fashioned limits for the third world, and shaped the current international economic and cultural order.

Hunt concludes by addressing current issues, such as how durable American power really is and what options remain for America's future.
