In this immense, feisty, delightfully pugilistic book, one can't help but appreciate [Hopkins's] intellectual fireworks, his depth of reading, and his conviction that history sits as the exacting judge of even emperors. -Joseph Fronczak, Jacobin Sweeping, ambitious and hugely illuminating . . . surely the definitive account of perhaps the most underestimated 'European' empire of all. -Dominic Sandbrook, BBC History Magazine A grand history that combines great ambition, immense learning, and illuminating insights. . . . No one who studies modern empires and America's place among them can ignore this book. -Dane Kennedy, H-Diplo Roundtable Review Hopkins has rendered the topic of American empire not merely interesting but truly compelling again. -David Armitage, Times Literary Supplement One of BBC History Magazine's Books of the Year Hopkins has written a stunning book. We are immensely in his debt for restoring great narrative history to the top shelf in a book that ranges in its erudition from a Mediaeval Middle Eastern historian to Captain America to make its points. -Lloyd Gardner, H-Diplo Roundtable Review
