Empire as a Way of Life

In This Review

By William Appleman Williams

Oxford University Press, 1980, 208 pp

Purchase

A restatement of the author's familiar argument that Americans have been quintessential imperialists at home and abroad. His romantic message: give up imperialism on pain of death; turn instead to regional communities. Not much guidance here for those who must formulate specific policies.
