This book offers a major rereading of US foreign policy from Thomas
Jefferson's purchase of Louisiana expanse to the Korean War. This
period of one hundred and fifty years saw the expansion of the
United States from fragile republic to transcontinental giant.
David Mayers explores the dissenting voices which accompanied this
dramatic ascent, focusing on dissenters within the political and
military establishment and on the recurrent patterns of dissent
that have transcended particular policies and crises. The most
stubborn of these sprang from anxiety over the material and
political costs of empire while other strands of dissent have been
rooted in ideas of exigent justice, realpolitik, and moral duties
existing beyond borders. Such dissent is evident again in the
contemporary world when the US occupies the position of preeminent
global power. Professor Mayers's study reminds us that America's
path to power was not as straightforward as it might now seem.
