520 1 $a"The United States has won two world wars, and while its sphere of influence certainly grew, it did not extend its territory as a result. U.S. alliance structures are designed to defend rather than orchestrate attacks. This lack of interest in territorial conquest coupled with increasing power is extremely unusual in the history of the world. In fact, Madden argues it has happened only once before. Romans didn't want an empire either. And it was the rejection of imperial power by both peoples that led to it being handed to them by others." "Presenting Roman stories and conflicts strikingly parallel to the Abu Ghraib scandal, Islamic terrorism, and European discord, Madden provides insights into urgent modern debates about the separation of church and state, family values, military adventurism, and electoral mandates. He investigates the debt our country's founding fathers owed to Rome. But above all, he presents how the United States can grow as a great Empire of Trust to build a more prosperous and peaceful new world - for centuries to come."--BOOK JACKET.
