Broken into four sections, this book illustrates the history of American foreign policy and demonstrates the current applicability of a non-interventionist model. For the past century, U.S. foreign policy has rested on the assumption that Americans' interests are best served by active intervention abroad to secure markets for U.S. exports, to combat potential enemies far from American shores, or to engage in democratic nation building. Earlier, however, non-interventionism was widely considered more desirable and more consistent with the principles of the American Revolution. The authors argue for a return to these original American mores.

Number line complete 1 2 3 4 5. "Regardless for the motivation for America's global hegemony," the editors observe, "the abandonment of the nonintervention principle has imposed large costs on Americans in terms of constitutional integrity, domestic tranquility, and economic progress." The transfer of the de factor war-making power from Congress to the president is "especially troubling," they argue, since "presidents have often invoked exaggerations or falsehoods about national security threats to bring the country into war."
