Description

America's Road to Empire surveys and analyses United States' foreign relations from the country’s independence in 1776 until its entry into World War One in 1917, using primary source materials and case studies. The book covers key themes including: - the role that notions of "white superiority" played in US foreign policy - the search for absolute security that repeatedly led the United States to trample on the liberties of other countries; - and the idea of American 'exceptionalism' – the clash between the idealism of US rhetoric and its actions – which has led to a persistent failure to understand how “European” U.S. policy actually was. Whilst providing analytical overview, Piero Gleijeses also uses case studies which examine overlooked aspects of U.S. foreign policy, particularly concerning marginalized populations. He draws on archival U.S. and European primary sources and incorporates the latest research from the US, British, French and Spanish archives, as well as newspapers from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Spain, and Mexico. A highly original account of the United States’ rise to power drawing on multilingual scholarship, this is an important book for all students and scholars of United States foreign relations up to the First World War. Review Drawing on international research in multiple languages, Piero Gleijeses brilliantly illuminates the rise of the United States to global power in a contest of rival empires. With clear purpose and lucid writing, America's Road to Empire ranges from the American's initial anti-colonial struggle for independence to the later conquest of distant dominions. Combining aggression, fear, and self-righteousness, American leaders pursued the fantasy of perfect security through expansion across a continent and then an ocean. --Alan Taylor, author of American Revolutions (Norton), USA About the Author Piero Gleijeses is Professor of American Foreign Policy in the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, USA. He is the author of Visions of Freedom: Havana, Washington, Pretoria and the Struggle for Southern Africa, 1976-1991 (2013), which won the AHA Friedrich Katz Prize, and Conflicting Missions: Havana, Washington and Africa, 1959-1976 (2002), which won the 2002 Robert Ferrell Prize from the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations.
