Last Western Empire A History of U.S. Foreign Policy by Anthony Gronowicz. The United States, founded as an extension of the British Empire, never planned to accept a multipolar world upon its ascension to dominance in the early twentieth century. The U.S. prospered through geographic isolation and two world wars even as it regularly descends into race-based political chaos due to a historical legacy of internal chattel slavery. Its foreign policy is founded on militarism, the major force in advancing global economic hegemony over all competitors. This 15-chapter book begins with the two-ocean Spanish-American War, preparing Washington for World War I and then explores how Washington prompted corporations and universities to enable the Axis Powers.

Last Western Empire demonstrates that Washington continues to expand global power and influence thro Las
