Features: This book examines the position of the United States in the world from the perspective of contemporary people; and evaluates their thoughts through the exploration of their writings and records, as well as the matters they have handled. Their ideas and experiences raise a series of thought-provoking issues about the nation and society. What are the causes of the United States' new role in the world? Why did this role emerge, develop, and ultimately face crisis and decline? What goals do Americans pursue in the world? What has been successful in their foreign policies? What has failed? And what are the reasons behind it?
