A Republic, Not an Empire: Reclaiming America's Destiny

Categories: History, Politics & Social Sciences

Patrick J. Buchanan surveys two centuries of American foreign policy, from the founders' warnings against foreign entanglements through two world wars, the Cold War and the 1990s interventions. He argues that the United States had drifted from a republic into a global empire, taking on commitments that served neither its security nor its interests. Written in 1999, the book warns of terrorist retaliation and calls for a foreign policy that puts America's own interests first.
