Yet despite this success, both foreigners and Americans have routinely considered American foreign policy to be a political backwater and an intellectual wasteland. Americans have forgotten their own foreign policy traditions, and foreigners routinely sneer at what they consider the unsophisticated and amateurish foreign policy blunders of American governments.
Special Providence celebrates two centuries of American success in the world, reveals the forgotten intellectual and political bases of American strength, and explains the enduring national interests and values which continue to guide the development of American grand strategy in a post-Cold War world. Special Providence, a full-scale revision and re-interpretation of American history, will change the way Americans think about our past, our future, and the rest of the world.
