The book critically analyzes American foreign policy post-Cold War, focusing on the problematic shift during the George W. Bush administration towards interventionism and the notion of America as a "Crusader State." Robert W. Merry argues that attempts to reshape the world through regime change and pre-emptive military action are not only unprecedented but also perilous and counterproductive. Through his insights, Merry challenges the prevailing narratives that have guided U.S. actions on the global stage.
"In this great American story, acclaimed historian Robert Merry resurrects the presidential reputation of William McKinley, which loses out to the brilliant and flamboyant Theodore Roosevelt who succeeded him after his assassination. He portrays McKinley as a chief executive of consequence whose low place in the presidential rankings does not reflect his enduring accomplishments and the stamp he put on the country's future role in the world"-- Provided by publisher
