Description

The Lust of Empire, written by George Frisbie Hoar in 1900, is a historical analysis of the concept of empire and its impact on the United States. The book explores the motivations behind imperialism and the consequences of expansionism, both domestically and internationally. Hoar examines the role of greed, nationalism, and racial superiority in the pursuit of empire, and critiques the actions of American leaders who sought to expand their influence beyond their borders. He also discusses the effects of imperialism on foreign nations, particularly those that were colonized or dominated by American forces. The Lust of Empire is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of a critical period in American history, and remains relevant to contemporary discussions about the role of the United States in global affairs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
