| Summary |
"This book offers a major rereading of US foreign policy from Thomas Jefferson's purchase of Louisiana expanse to the Korean War. This period of one hundred and fifty years saw the growth of the United States from fragile republic to transcontinental giant and David Mayers explores the dissenting voices which accompanied this dramatic ascent. He focuses on dissenters within the political and military establishment and on the recurrent patterns of dissent that have transcended particular policies and crises."--BOOK JACKET |
