商品簡介
Now in its second edition, American Adventurism Abroad traces US foreign policy from the late 1940s through the past six years of America's 'war on terror,' and examines the impact of its repeated militaristic meddling into developing nations.
* Examines 34 cases of overseas US militaristic meddling, drawn from eleven presidencies and five geographic regions
* Provides not only understanding of the overseas interventions, but also a framework with which to interpret anticipated future American adventures
* Describes two recent dramatic non-terrorist-related interventions occurring in the Western Hemisphere--in Venezuela and Haiti and two terrorist-related interventions in Afghanistan (confirmed) and Iraq (alleged)

"This is a superb tool for the advanced undergraduate or graduate student to combine multiple disciplines to the study of US foreign policy. This ought to become one of the most referenced theoretical approaches to US foreign policy."
Sanford R. Silverburg, Catawba College
"American Adventurism Abroad is a well-written, comprehensive, but concise text on U.S. interventions throughout the world. The breadth and diversity of the author’s case analyses are impressive and valuable, as he covers both well known interventions and lesser known, even obscure, cases beginning in the immediate post-war period. Sullivan's individualized bibliographies, which he organizes by case or geographic area, will be extremely useful for both students and professors alike."
