The book critically analyzes American foreign policy post-Cold War, focusing on the problematic shift during the George W. Bush administration towards interventionism and the notion of America as a "Crusader State." Robert W.

Through his insights, Merry challenges the prevailing narratives that have guided U.S. actions on the global stage.
