Book Synopsis
A sequel to ""Peace Pact"", in which the author identified a 'unionist paradigm' that defined America's political understanding in 1787, this book examines how that paradigm was transformed under the impact of the great wars that followed. It challenges accepted interpretations of America's role in the world.

Trade Review
Americans tend to see their history as a parade of events. Yet at the very core of that history has been a debate over ideas and ideology. Hendrickson's brilliant book recounts and reassesses that debate with originality and penetrating insight. Andrew J. Bacevich, author of American Empire: The Realities and Consequences of U.S. Diplomacy ""An original and important work, marked by graceful erudition and judiciousness.... A worthy sequel to Hendrickson's acclaimed Peace Pact: The Lost World of the American Founding."" David Mayers, author of Dissenting Voices in America's Rise to Power ""A terrific book and magnificent achievement."" Peter S. Onuf, author of Jefferson's Empire: The Language of American Nationhood
