"Since the September 11th, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, traditional American foreign policy has proven inadequate to 21st century challenges of Islamic terrorism and globalization. In this ground-breaking analysis, author James Kurth explains that the roots of America's current foreign policy crisis lie in contradictions of an American empire which attempted to transform traditional American national interests promoted by Presidents like Teddy Roosevelt and FDR into a new American-led global order that has unsuccessfully attempted to promote supposedly universal, rather than uniquely American, ideals. Kurth dates the creation of the American empire to the morning of September 2nd, 1945, when General Douglas MacArthur, at the head of the representatives of the Allied Forces, received the surrender of the representatives of the Empire of Japan."--… (plus d'informations)

There is a growing sense, both in America and around the world, that we are now nearing a major inflection point in world history, one comparable in its significant to that at the end of the Cold War in 1989-1991, or even to that at the end of the Second World War in 1945. One era, an era often called the American Century, is coming to an end. Another era, yet unnamed and certainly unknown, is about to begin. But whatever this new era's name and nature will eventually be, it will be the era that will be the mid-21st century.

One day, someplace in the ruins of the American empire, and perhaps in the ruins of the United States itself, there may be found, unlikely as it seems, a few historians who will look back upon our time and they will try to determine the causes of our amazing rise and fall. They will surely concluded that the chief cause was the extraordinary ambition, pride, greed, and fantasies--indeed hubris--of the American globalist economic and political elites. It was they who pushed the United States down the wrong path after the Cold War. And there will be some historians who will conclude that it didn't have to end this way.
