Dangerous Nation

Attribution
Robert Kagan
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Knopf, 2006
Links
Description
He also makes a startling discovery: that the Civil War and the abolition of slavery?the fulfillment of the ideals of the Declaration?were the decisive turning point in the history of American foreign policy as well. Kagan’s brilliant and comprehensive reexamination of early American foreign policy makes clear why America, from its very beginning, has been viewed worldwide not only as a wellspring of political, cultural, and social revolution, but as an ambitious and, at times, dangerous nation.

Dominance By Design : Technological Imperatives And America’s Civilizing Mission

Attribution
Michael Adas
Publication Details
Book, Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2006
Description
As an integral part of America’s national identity and sense of itself in the world, this civilizing mission provided the rationale to displace the Indians from much of our continent, to build an island empire in the Pacific and Caribbean, and to promote unilateral–at times military–interventionism throughout Asia. Michael Adas brilliantly pursues the history of this mission through America’s foreign relations over nearly four centuries from North America to the Philippines, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf.

Across The Continent : Jefferson, Lewis And Clark, And The Making Of America

Attribution
edited by Douglas Seefeldt, Jeffrey L. Hantman, Peter S. Onuf
Publication Details
Book, University of Virginia Press, 2005
Description
An obscure undertaking in its own time, the Lewis and Clark expedition has grown in the American imagination, acquiring an almost mythic stature. The essays collected here look at the global geopolitics that provided the context for the expedition — and at the interest in science, shared by Jefferson, that not only grew from the expedition but, to an extent, justified its undertaking.
