Focusing on the evolution of democracy, the book argues against the notion of the U.S. as an imperialist power, highlighting its pivotal role in promoting democratic values worldwide. It traces the journey from just six democracies at the dawn of the 20th century to a more democratic global landscape by its end, attributing this transformation to the vision and sacrifices of Americans. Matthew C. Price analyzes significant 20th-century conflicts to illustrate how American principles have profoundly influenced global politics and values.
