The Imperial Mantle: The United States, Decolonization and the Third World Book

"To understand why some people in the Third World like to throw rocks at us, read this book." --Richard B.

In this thoughtful review, experienced diplomat and scholar David Newsom reveals that despite its anti-colonial heritage, the United States inherited the imperial mantle after World War II, becoming the focus both of expectations and demands from the new nations. How the United States lived up to these expectations, and how it responded to the challenge of world leadership and the burdens of being number one constitute the central issues engaged by this book.Read More
