About This Item
Harvard University Press, 2006 8vo (21.5 cm), [8], 373 pp. Publisher's cloth backed boards and dust jacket. From the blurb: "Contemporary America, with its unparalleled armaments and ambition, seems to many commentators a new empire. Others angrily reject the designation. What stakes would being an empire have for our identity at home and our role abroad? A pre-eminent American historian addresses these issues in light of the history of empires since antiquity. This elegantly written book examines the structure and impact of these mega-states and asks whether the United States shares their traits and behaviour."
