Wars and peace the future Americans envisioned, 1861-1991
"Wars and Peace" is a history of the way that a range of Americans have tried to conceptualize peace during five national security crises: the Civil War, Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, and Cold War. The author examines the intellectual foundations of US foreign policy since 1861 and analyzes the way that Americans, across the political spectrum, have in times of conflict conceptualized the era that would follow hostilities. Mayers looks at this history in terms of a problem: How should the United States fashion its policy in the post-Cold War world? Discussing previous attempts to create postwar orders, Mayers reveals that they failed in the test to fulfil the hopes of their authors. Yet the cumulative impact of these ideas has been to shape collective imagination in America. Mayers argues that attempts at innovation notwithstanding, US purpose remains unchanged. W.E.B. Du Bois published these lines in 1935: "Nations reel and stagger on their way; they make hideous mistakes; they commit frightful wrongs; they do great and beautiful things." In this volume Mayers gives voice to a range of people who have acted on the political scene to show how Americans of all persuasions have flavoured the national discourse.

"Wars and Peace is a historical look at how Americans have tried to conceptualize peace during five national security crises: the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, and the Cold War. David Mayers examines the intellectual foundations of U.S. foreign policy since 1861 and analyzes the way that Americans, across the political spectrum and in times of conflict, have conceptualized the eras that would follow hostilities. Mayers looks at history in terms of a current problem: How should the United States fashion its policy in the post-Cold War world? In this volume Mayers gives voice to a range of people who have acted on the political scene - the powerful but also the marginalized, the vanquished, the dissenting - to show how Americans of all stripes and persuasions have flavored national discourse."
