The American Century: Rise and Decline of the United States as a World Power Book

As reflected in the subtitle, The Rise and Decline of the United States as a World Power, Donald White argues that the U.S. has been shrinking in stature for the past 30 years due to a lack of vision and clear goals regarding foreign policy. The absence of "purpose," as the author terms it, has had its effect on the populace by draining some of the pride and optimism that was felt prior to World War II--when America's role was defined and its strength unquestioned. This strength is still present in terms of military and economic might, but without a plan, this power can appear to be more a curse than an asset. The American Century uses not only historical data and theory to support its claims, but also artistic reflections and insights, lending an interesting cultural twist on a seemingly political discussion.
