American World Policies

Published in the early 20th century, 'American World Policies' by Walter E. Weyl analyzes the United States' evolving role in global politics during and after World War I. The book discusses the tension between isolationism and international engagement, reflecting on the disillusionment of Americans regarding their nation's involvement in European conflicts. Weyl explores the ideological and economic factors influencing American foreign policy, highlighting the emergence of two distinct national identities—idealistic versus pragmatic.
