Description of Cold War Triumphalism |
In 2002, President George W. Bush declared, The great struggles of the twentieth century between liberty and totalitarianism ended with a decisive victory for the forces of freedom - and a single sustainable model for national success: freedom, democracy and free enterprise. Cold War Triumphalism exposes the ideological roots of such unabashed triumphalist accounts, and counters the current attempt to rewrite the history of the Cold War struggle. Assembling some of the nations leading historians of U.S. foreign policy, the Cold War, and recent American history, Cold War Triumphalism captures a generation of critical scholarship on Americas rise to global dominance after World War 11. At a time when history is increasingly invoked to vindicate the war on terrorism, neoliberal globalization, and recent American military ventures, this book provides a necessary challenge to right-wing mythologizing. Widely praised when first published in hardcover, this first paperback edition is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand American global politics in the twenty-first century.
