Conclusion BibliographyReviewsDrawing on international research in multiple languages, Piero Gleijeses brilliantly illuminates the rise of the United States to global power in a contest of rival empires. With clear purpose and lucid writing, America's Road to Empire ranges from the American's initial anti-colonial struggle for independence to the later conquest of distant dominions. Combining aggression, fear, and self-righteousness, American leaders pursued the fantasy of perfect security through expansion across a continent and then an ocean. * Alan Taylor, author of American Revolutions (Norton), USA * Author InformationPiero Gleijeses is Professor of American Foreign Policy in the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, USA.
