An interesting examination of American empire. It's not "manifest destiny", it's something far more mundane: ambition, greed, slavery... Griffin doesn't gloss over the awful to paint a picture of benevolence.
It's becoming more common for historians and political writers to take a far more critical view of America's history on the world stage, and this fits nicely among the more critical volumes.
Worth a read, if for no other reason than it will spark debate and analysis.
