Pfaff, William

Presents the argument that the concept of "Manifest Destiny," whose roots are traced here, has degraded to the point where the United States feels morally obligated to end tyranny the world over and warns that if this policy is not altered, it will lead to the country's downfall.

Discusses the fall of empires and the rise of nations, and modern nationalism which has become the most powerful political force in the contemporary world.
