He traces the roots of Manifest Destiny from the British settlement of North America and the rise of Puritanism through Woodrow Wilson's efforts to \"make the world safe for democracy\" and Ronald Reagan's struggle against the \"evil empire\" of the Soviet Union. The result is a remarkable and necessary book about how faith in divinely ordained expansionism has marked the course of American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anders Stephanson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0809015846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780809015849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hill \u0026amp; Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Anders Stephanson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990382248191,"sku":"9780809015849","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82d437c1-fd0f-4e34-b201-24ea091b5ef0.jpg?v=1683304353","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/manifest-destiny-anders-stephanson-9780809015849","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
