About this title

Synopsis

Book by Varg, Paul A.

Reviews

Varg, a widely published historian, examines six major transitional periods in U.S. history, ending with the emergence of the Cold War in the late 1940s. Varg's main theme in this collection of essays is that the character of American society had a major influence on the conduct of foreign policy. National economic interests are shown to be the major factor in policy-making decisions, which places Varg in the same camp as revisionist historian William Appleman Williams, whose Empire As a Way of Life (LJ 8/15/80) detailed U.S. territorial expansion through its foreign policy. This is a useful complement to classic surveys of American diplomatic history such as Thomas A. Bailey's A Diplomatic History of the American People ( Prentice-Hall, 1980. 10th ed.) and Walter LeFeber's more recent The American Age: United States Foreign Policy at Home and Abroad Since 1730 ( LJ 3/1/89).
