Summary

Being bordered by the world's two largest oceans gives America a competitive advantage that is often overlooked by historians focused primarily on the Atlantic and the country's relationship with Europe. Bruce Cumings boldly challenges this perspective, arguing for a dual approach to American history that equally incorporates both Atlanticist and Pacificist perspectives. Book jacket.
