Requests:  0 Summary:  Black describes nine "phases" of the strategic rise of the nation, in which it progressed through grave challenges, civil and foreign wars, and secured a place for itself under the title of "Superpower." He discredits prevailing notions that our unrivaled status is the product of good geography, demographics, and good luck. Instead, he reveals and analyzes the specific strategic decisions of great statesmen through the ages that transformed the world as we know it and established America's place in it.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 327.73 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
