The American "Empire": and Other Studies of US Foreign Policy in a Comparative Perspective (A Norwegian University Press Publication)
by Geir Lundestad
On This Page
Description
This book contains four comparative studies of U.S. foreign policy after World War II. The first deals with the way in which American historians have analyzed the origins of the Cold War and argues that moralism, presentism, exceptionalism, and provincialism have been allowed too large a role in such analyses. Another study looks at the American "empire" and compares the U.S. role in the world after 1945 with that of the Soviet Union during the same period and that of Britain in the show more nineteenth century. The other studies examine the unique qualities and pendulum swings in American foreign policy and American and British policies toward Eastern Europe since World War II. show lessTags
