The American Empire

(4) YA World in Focus series. Twelve essays and articles (most written before 2003) argue that the United States can rightly be called an empire. The writers examine the history of empires, compare and contrast them to the U.S., and suggest ways to prevent America's repeating the failures of past empires. Though the book is highly informative, its textbooklike format, with only a few photographs, is unapproachable. Reading list, websites. Bib., ind.
