In this provocative study, Paul Atwood attempts to show Americans
that their history is one of constant wars of aggression and
imperial expansion. In his long teaching career, Atwood has found
that most students know virtually nothing about America's
involvement in the wars of the 20th century, let alone those prior
to World War I. War and Empire aims to correct this, clearly and
persuasively explaining US actions in every major war since the
declaration of independence. The book shows that, far from being
dragged reluctantly into foreign entanglements, America's leaders
have always picked its battles in order to increase their influence
and power, with little regard for the American soldiers and 'enemy'
civilians killed or made to suffer in the process. This book is an
eye-opening introduction to the American way of life for
undergraduate students of American history, politics and
international relations.
