The book critically examines the contrasting intellectual foundations of American foreign policy, highlighting the left's belief in democracy as a pathway to global peace, rooted in Kantian philosophy. In contrast, the right draws on realist thinkers like Thucydides and Strauss, viewing military power as essential for survival and dominance. The author argues that the right's promotion of democracy serves as a facade for imperial ambitions. Ultimately, the book challenges both perspectives as expressions of Western chauvinism.
