Description
Contemporary America, with its unparalleled armaments and ambition, seems to many commentators a new empire. Marshaling a remarkable array of evidence–from Roman, Ottoman, Moghul, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and British experience–Maier outlines the essentials of empire throughout history. With learning, dispassion, and clarity, Among Empires offers bold comparisons and an original account of American power. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
