Tomorrow, the World
The Birth of U.S. Global Supremacy
Stephen Wertheim
This book explores how and why the United States pivoted to become the world's leading superpower, leading the postwar world. The author traces this transformation to the crucible of World War II, detailing the events that led key decision-makers to believe the US ought to achieve global primacy. Weaving together a sophisticated and impassioned narrative, the author questions the wisdom of US supremacy and explores the intellectual path that brought us to today's global entanglements and endless wars.

A wonderful book about how ideas — in particular the way we frame apparent alternatives such as international “isolationism” vs “engagement” — shape our perception of interests. @stephenwertheim – source
