The Ghost at the Feast (book review)
domestic politics always gets in the way…
Book review:
The Ghost at the Feast:
America and the Collapse of World Order,
1900-1941
by Robert Kagan
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2023
669 pages
Kagan’s approach to writing history is fully respectable. He tells it straight, and he knows what he’s talking about.
The Ghost at the Feast is a stunning commentary on the politics (domestic and international) that guided and muddled America’s role on the world stage in the first half of the 20th century.
Prepare to learn more about our history that you don’t already know.
We didn’t always know exactly what we were doing.
