Debating American Exceptionalism (eBook, PDF)

Empire and Democracy in the Wake of the Spanish-American War

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Spanish-American War focused not only on foreign policy, but also on the nation's very essence and purpose. At the heart of this debate was a consensus on American nationalism. This book explains why the belief in exceptionalism still serves as the basis of American nationalism and foreign policy even in spite of more recent military failures.

Rezensionen

"This first-rate account focuses on the debate over the Philippines just after the Spanish-American War, examining the arguments, pro and con, concerning US imperialism. The book is particularly strong on matters of definition and organization. Highly recommended." - CHOICE
