The collapse of the Soviet Union ushered in American global
hegemony in world affairs. In the post-Cold War period, both
Democrat and Republican governments intervened, fought
insurgencies, and changed regimes. In America's Wars, Thomas
Henriksen explores how America tried to remake the world by
militarily invading a host of nations beset with civil wars, ethnic
cleansing, brutal dictators, and devastating humanitarian
conditions. The immediate post-Cold War years saw the United States
carrying out interventions in the name of Western-style democracy,
humanitarianism, and liberal internationalism in Panama, Somalia,
Haiti, Bosnia and Kosovo. Later, the 9/11 terrorist attacks led
America into larger-scale military incursions to defend itself from
further assaults by al Qaeda in Afghanistan and from perceived
nuclear arms in Iraq, while fighting small-footprint conflicts in
Africa, Asia, and Arabia. This era is coming to an end with the
resurgence of great power rivalry and rising threats from China and
Russia.
