| Sumario: | Explores America's rise as a world power--from the 1890s through the Cold War--and its bid to extend its hegemony deep into the twenty-first century through a fusion of cyber war, space warfare, trade pacts, and military alliances. McCoy analyzes the marquee instruments of US hegemony--covert intervention, client elites, psychological torture, and worldwide surveillance. Peeling back layers of secrecy, he exposes a military and economic battle for global domination fought in the shadows, largely unknown to those outside the highest rungs of power. McCoy devotes his final chapter to laying out a series of scenarios that make the case for the inevitable decline of the American empire and the rise of China. |
