Dr. Henry KissingerAt the dawn of the twentieth century, the United States was one of the worlds richest, most populous, most technologically advanced nations. It was also a nation divided along numerous fault lines, with conflicting aspirations and concerns pulling it in different directions. And it was a nation unsure about the role it wanted to play in the world, if any. Americans were the beneficiaries of a global order they had no responsibility for maintaining. Many preferred to avoid being drawn into what seemed an ever more competitive, conflictual, and militarized international environment. However, many also were eager to see the United States taking a share of international responsibility, working with others to preserve peace and advance civilization.

Would America retreat within their own relatively secure and geographically separate borders, or would it continue to expand its influence on an international scale?Beginning with the honorable Spanish-American War and ending with the wreckage of World War II, Robert Kagan tracks how Americas desire to be an arbiter of peace as a young democracy has conflicted with its desire to stay neutral. Kagan shows how this moral high ground has led to mistakes and acts of ruthless ambition, but he also argues that Americas hesitation to intervene in foreign affairs has allowed fascism and tyranny to grow unchecked. Brilliant and insightful, The Ghost at the Feast strips away any illusion that America can be an isolationist country, tracing the stunningly quick dissolution of European control and the emergence of a new world order with America at its helm....(*_*)9780593535196_AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A comprehensive, sweeping history of Americas rise to global superpowerfrom the Spanish-American War to World War IIby the acclaimed author of Dangerous NationWith extraordinary range and research, Robert Kagan has illuminated Americas quest to reconcile its new power with its historical purpose in world order in the early twentieth century.
