The answer to this, according to Phillips, lies in a close examination of three internecine English-speaking civil wars, the English Civil War, the American Revolution, and the American Civil War. These wars between cousins functioned as crucial anvils on which various religious, ethnic, and political alliances were hammered out between the English-speaking cousin-nations, setting them on a unique two-track path toward world leadership, one aristocratic and aloof to dominate the imperial nineteenth century and the other more egalitarian and democratic to take over in the twentieth century.This is a FINE text copy of the 1st./1st. fnl, with no visible faults AS NEW.*
