Walter L. Hixson examines the intersection of American national identity and foreign policy, arguing that the country's historical reliance on military force is rooted in deep-seated cultural myths. By applying post-structuralist frameworks to the history of U.S. diplomacy, the author explores how the construction of the 'other' has consistently shaped the nation's international engagements and political strategies.
