Dissenting Voices in America's Rise to Power(ISBN=9780521694186) epub 下载 pdf 网盘 2025 mobi 在线 免费

This book offers a major rereading of US foreign policy from

Thomas Jefferson's purchase of Louisiana expanse to the Korean War.

This period of one hundred and fifty years saw the expansion of the

United States from fragile republic to transcontinental giant.

David Mayers explores the dissenting voices which accompanied this

dramatic ascent, focusing on dissenters within the political and

military establishment and on the recurrent patterns of dissent

that have transcended particular policies and crises. The most

stubborn of these sprang from anxiety over the material and

political costs of empire while other strands of dissent have been

rooted in ideas of exigent justice, realpolitik, and moral duties

existing beyond borders. Such dissent is evident again in the

contemporary world when the US occupies the position of preeminent

global power. Professor Mayers's study reminds us that America's

path to power was not as straightforward as it might now seem.
