This book provides a compact history of the gradual development of
the US into a great power. Most histories of US foreign policy and
development concentrate either on economic growth or on relations
with the major powers outside the continental United States. This
book, however, emphasizes the longstanding conflict between the US
and the American Indians and Mexico, and how the development of the
United States as a great power depended primarily on its seizure of
large areas of land from their previous inhabitants. Covering
Christopher Columbus's famous voyage and US colonial policy up to
World War II, the book explains (at times controversially) how the
US became a large land area, which proved to be an indispensable
tool in its becoming a great power.
