American civilization

"In a world that is daily becoming more American it is well to know just what being American entails. This book argues that a discernibly American identity, nonetheless real for having been so long obscured by United States preponderance, has united the republics of the Western hemisphere in the modern period and helps explain their behaviour toward one another and toward states elsewhere."--Jacket
