Tomorrow, the World
Author: Stephen Wertheim
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 067424866X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
A new history explains how and why, as it prepared to enter World War II, the United States decided to lead the postwar world. For most of its history, the United States avoided making political and military commitments that would entangle it in European-style power politics. Then, suddenly, it conceived a new role for itself as the world’s armed superpower—and never looked back. In Tomorrow, the World, Stephen Wertheim traces America’s transformation to the crucible of World War II, especially in the months prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. As the Nazis conquered France, the architects of the nation’s new foreign policy came to believe that the United States ought to achieve primacy in international affairs forevermore. Scholars have struggled to explain the decision to pursue global supremacy. Some deny that American elites made a willing choice, casting the United States as a reluctant power that sloughed off “isolationism” only after all potential competitors lay in ruins. Others contend that the United States had always coveted global dominance and realized its ambition at the first opportunity. Both views are wrong. As late as 1940, the small coterie of officials and experts who composed the U.S. foreign policy class either wanted British preeminence in global affairs to continue or hoped that no power would dominate. The war, however, swept away their assumptions, leading them to conclude that the United States should extend its form of law and order across the globe and back it at gunpoint. Wertheim argues that no one favored “isolationism”—a term introduced by advocates of armed supremacy in order to turn their own cause into the definition of a new “internationalism.” We now live, Wertheim warns, in the world that these men created. A sophisticated and impassioned narrative that questions the wisdom of U.S. supremacy, Tomorrow, the World reveals the intellectual path that brought us to today’s global entanglements and endless wars.

I’Ve Known No War
Author: S.P. MCLELLAN
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1503581160
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Ive Known No War details the lifelong friendship of two native Texans who share a love of baseball, and both have amazing futures ahead of them. Stephen McClanahan, or Stevie Mac to his friends, was academically at the head of his class and had plans to attend the Ivy League School of his choice. His best friend, Theodore Teddy Smith, more affectionately known as Smitty, had been born with a natural gift to crush a baseball. Smitty was, in all likelihood, headed on the fast track to the major leagues and was most certainly slated to be a high draft pick in the June 2002 Major League Draft. The pair were having the time of their young lives as their senior year began in August 2001, and everything was perfect. Everything was perfect until the day it wasnt. September 11, 2001, forced most people to reevaluate things including a seventeen-year-old in Harbor Lake, Texas, with an Ivy League rsum. Perhaps his elite education could wait? His father, J. P. McClanahan, had served in the Marine Corps and had considered it an honor to wear USMC on his left breast pocket. Stevie had made his decision: he was going to enlist in a time when no draft existed and less than 1 percent of the US population was serving in a 100-percent-volunteer force. Surely everyone would think he was nuts, most especially his old friend Teddy. Initially, Teddy would attempt to talk some sense into his academically gifted friend, yet something was nagging at Smitty himself. Perhaps major league baseball could wait too? This is the story of unselfishness, courage, loyalty, and above all, friendship. Dreams can be put on hold, dreams can be shattered, and dreams can be forced to be reevaluated. This story is a reminder that someone must always be willing to go into harms way, and it cant always be someone elses kid!
