Draws on the writings of intellectuals, speeches by politicians, periodicals, movies & TV, opinion polls, & other sources, White explores what America thought about power in the 20th century, how they evaluated America's world role & the confrontations of the Cold War, & how they perceived the erosion of this power after the Vietnam War.
