A Sense of Power

In his insightful audiobook, John A. Thompson examines America's emergence as a global power from the late 19th century through the post-World War II era. He explores how leaders from Wilson to Truman expanded their understanding of the national interest, leading to broad public support for the sacrifices made in international engagements. Highlighting the cultural beliefs and emotions that influenced this perspective, Thompson challenges established notions about U.S. foreign policy and stimulates contemporary discussions on America's role in world affairs.
