Rise to Globalism

by Stephen E. Ambrose

Published 28 February 1972

This complete revision looks at American foreign policy from 1938 to, roughly, the end of the first Reagan administration in 1984. It revises the coverage of postwar American foreign policy in the light of recent scholarship and current events - for example the Lebanon invasion by Marines in the mid-1950s receives increased coverage in the light of the American debacle there in 1983.
