The Irony of American History

In This Review

By Reinhold Niebuhr

Scribner, 1952, 174 pp

This stimulating book is less a reinterpretation of American history than a searching commentary on the position of the United States in the world and the complex interplay of our ideals, ambitions, myths, practice and achievements.
