Description

Is America the new global empire? Presidents, from Lincoln to Bush, may have denied it, but as Niall Ferguson's stunning and provocative book shows, the USA is in many ways the greatest empire of all time. It has always been an empire, expanding westward in the nineteenth century and reaching global dominance in the twentieth. But is today's American colossus truly equipped to take on the global role? The United States, as Ferguson reveals, is an empire running on empty, weakened by years of deficits in money, manpower, and political will. When the "New Rome" falls, he warns, its collapse may come from within. Pages: 416, Dimensions: 12.9x12.9cm
