The United States of Empire: The passing of the mantle from the United Kingdom to the United States.

Meticulously researched and masterfully conceived, The United States of Empire by journalist and historian James F. Dunn provides not only a timely but also an extensive sociological, political and historical look at the United States of America as it entered the First Word War. Bold in its premise and wide in its scope, the author leaves no stone unearthed as he parlays a neoclassic framework to gain momentum of a tale of American influence burgeoning and expanding, initiating a lively and readable debate that demands that readers begin viewing the past century in a whole new light. Subsequent to American involvement in the War to End All Wars, the US government's international protocol had been as a hemispheric power, but henceforth the US's impact became an escalating imperial force in the twentieth century. If you read one book on contemporary American history, make this the book.

3Controversial Thesis Makes For Interesting Read  Aug 07, 2008
By Michael Phelps
In the introduction to "The United States of Empire" James Dunn informs the reader that he intends to show that President Roosevelt knew the Japanese attack against Pearl Harbor was coming and that he conspired to let it happen. This is a very controversial arguement that is shared by writers in the revisionist camp who do not accept the conventional view of history.

The reader can make up his own mind about Pearl Harbor and America's entry into World War Two. There is plenty of well researched material presented on other topics such as American attitudes about Europe in the years after World War One and a discussion of the Great Depression and FDR's role in inadvertently making it worse.

Mr. Dunn explains how America's involvement in World War One and World War Two against her better judgement led to a transformation from a disinterested bystander in world affairs into a global empire. Not everyone will agree with Mr. Dunn's assessments, but where ever one stands, his book is worth a read.
