Imperial Delusions

The book critiques the rise of a new militarism in the United States, particularly since 9/11, challenging the notion of America as a peaceful mediator. Carl Boggs examines the origins and implications of this militaristic approach, revealing its detrimental impact on both American society and foreign policy. He argues that Americans have developed a dependence on war, which shapes their domestic and international interactions. Through this analysis, the book confronts the uncomfortable reality behind the myth of American exceptionalism.
