Tomorrow, the World

In Tomorrow, the World, Stephen Wertheim explores how the United States, initially avoiding European-style power politics, transformed into a global superpower during World War II. The book highlights the shift in American foreign policy driven by the tumult of the war, challenging the idea that the U.S. was reluctant to assume global dominance or that it simply abandoned isolationism. Instead, Wertheim reveals how wartime events led American policymakers to pursue worldwide primacy, shaping the world we live in today and prompting reflection on the implications of U.S. global dominance.
