In this book, Noam Chomsky presents a view of American foreign policy over the ages, developing a very widespread theory that is clearly presented in the first chapter's title "Imperial Grand Strategy". In fact, he explains how the US, especially since the beginning of the 21st century in the context of the Iraq war, is trying to maintain its global dominance over other countries.
The Bush administration, following a strategy that has already been implemented from the post war period, wants to make the world become unipolar, where the US is the only nation that is able to make all the decisions without facing any competition. A very interesting quote made by Chomsky to back up his thesis belongs to the Wilsonian idealist foreign policy relying on "the imperative of America's mission as the vanguard of history, transforming the global order and, in doing so, perpetuating its own dominance".
