The book offers a profound analysis of American foreign policy, examining the ideological and economic factors that fueled expansion and intervention from the 19th century through the Cold War. It highlights the connections between historical events, such as the interventions in Vietnam and Iraq, and the underlying beliefs that shaped U.S. actions.
