Peace, Struggle, and Liberty: Understanding U.S. Overseas Coverage

Has america been a pressure for liberty world wide? Ought to or not it’s? And if that’s the case, how? To reply these questions, Christopher A. Preble traces the historical past of U.S. international coverage from the American Founding to the current, analyzing the concepts which have animated it, asking whether or not America’s coverage decisions have made the world safer and freer, and contemplating the affect of these decisions on freedom at house.

Preble explains the necessity to query the assumptions that drive American international coverage within the fashionable period―particularly the belief that American politicians can and will forcibly remake the worldwide order to swimsuit their wishes. He asks readers to contemplate whether or not America and the world could be safer and freer if U.S. international coverage integrated libertarian insights concerning the limitations of presidency energy.

Directly evenhanded and uncompromising, Peace, Struggle, and Liberty is a complete problem to the interventionist ideology of America’s international coverage institution.
