{"product_id":"us-expansionism-david-healy-9780299058548","title":"US Expansionism: The Imperialist Urge in the 1890s","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmericans, in viewing the globe in 1897, saw a world of empires that were dynamic and fast-growing. Western powers such as Germany, France, and particularly Great Britain were making colonial imperialism fashionable, and the United States, eager to flex its muscles as an emerging world power, was swept along with the European tide. One year later, the United States had truly established itself as a contender in the global game, victorious in a war with Spain and committed to imperialism.\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eUS Expansionism\u003c\/i\u003e, David Healy examines this brief but important chapter in American history. Analyzing the various intellectual, cultural, and economic forces that engendered and shaped America's imperialist drive, Healy also illustrates the key personalities involved, including the soon-to-be president, Theodore Roosevelt. A final section of the book examines the anti-imperialist opposition inspired by the new policy, and the ensuing debates about the proper role of American power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Healy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299058549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299058548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.80d","brand":"David Healy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086466199807,"sku":"9780299058548","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_618f042a-c818-4608-abbb-6e64b64b581f.jpg?v=1769094827","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/us-expansionism-david-healy-9780299058548","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
