In the years after the Soviet Union imploded, the United States was described first as the globes lone superpower, then as reluctant sheriff, next as the indispensable nation, and, in the wake of 9/11, as a New Rome. In this important and bestselling book, Chalmers Johnson explores the new militarism that is transforming America and compelling its people to pick up the burden of empire.

a must read

This book is a must read for anyone who thinks they know the United States and what we are all about. Well documented, but not your typical history book. Mr. Johnson answers the questions that we typically never ask, and asks questions that force us to reexamine ourselves as a nation. It puts the U.S. as an empire into historical context.
