Written by leading historians and political scientists, this
collection of essays offers a broad and comprehensive coverage of
the role of war in American history.
Addressing the role of the armed force, and attitudes towards
it, in shaping and defining the United States, the first four
chapters reflect the perspectives of historians on this central
question, from the time of the American Revolution to the US wars
in Vietnam and Iraq. Chapters five and six offer the views of
political scientists on the topic, one in light of the global
systems theory, the other from the perspective of domestic opinion
and governance. The concluding essay is written by historians Fred
Anderson and Andrew Cayton, whose co-authored book The Dominion of
War: Empire and Liberty in North America, 1500-2000 provided the
common reading for the symposium which produced these essays.
America, War and Power will be of much interest to students and
scholars of US military history, US politics and military history
and strategy in general.
