Reviews

  • Associated with the late twentieth century, the decolonization of the modern world was symbolized by the birth of the United States in 1776 - a country that then had to grapple with the meaning of its own emancipation for its growing power in a world of other peoples. The great historian Sean Byrnes has written an epic and masterful survey of America's struggle with empires - including its own - over two centuries. Whether and how empires end turn out to be defining American questions.
