Eland asserts that the US has maintained an empire for more than a century, despite perceptions by both conservatives and liberals and officials' claims to the contrary. He maintains that the empire is eroding the country's reputation overseas and threatening the security, prosperity, and liberties of its citizens. He advocates returning to the original intentions of the "Founding Fathers," which he feels were to pursue a foreign policy of military restraint and free exchange of trade and culture outside of US borders. Eland's notes also serve as his bibliography. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
