| adam_text | It was Thomas Jefferson who envisioned the
United States as a great empire of liberty . In
the first new one-volume history in two decades,
David Reynolds takes Jefferson s phrase as a key
to the saga of America
—
helping unlock both its
grandeur and its paradoxes. He examines how
the anti-empire of
1776
became the greatest
superpower the world has seen, how the country
that offered liberty and opportunity on a scale
unmatched in Europe nevertheless founded its
prosperity on the labour of black slaves and
the dispossession of the Native Americans. He
explains how these tensions between empire and
liberty have often been resolved by faith
—
both
the evangelical Protestantism that has energized
US politics since the foundation of the nation
and the larger faith in American righteousness
that has impelled the country s expansion.
Reynolds account is driven by a compelling
argument which illuminates our contemporary
world.
This is also a book in which the voices of the
past speak out strongly for themselves. Not
just presidents from Washington to Bush, but
ordinary men and women
—
settlers and Indians,
slaves and immigrants, soldiers and farmers,
factory workers and suburban housewives.
Reynolds celebrates America s technological
achievements
—
the plough, the skyscraper and
the personal computer. He paints vivid pictures
of the battlefield of Gettysburg, the stockyards
of Chicago and the bus boycott in Montgomery,
Alabama. But he also asks hard questions about
the cost of greatness, from the Indian Trail of
Tears to the Red Scare and the War on Terror.
Reynolds depicts a country that has derived
much of its energy
-
even its identity
-
from
a perpetual struggle against enemies, real or
imagined.
Written with verve, insight and humour by
a prize-winning historian, America, Empire of
Liberty is a new history for a new presidency.
