About This Item
New Brunswick: Transaction Publishers, 1997. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition.. FIRST PRINTING of the First Edition. A scholarly, libertarian-conservative collection of essays collectively providing an analysis of America's twentieth century conflicts around the globe, arguing that the growth of American government and its interventions around the globe have not served US interests, but rather have led to a huge increase in government and its power, constricting individual liberty and free enterprise as well as dramatically expanding America's expensive perceived obligations around the world, transforming the United States from a republic into more of an imperialistic state. Much of the tenor of these essays draw heavily from the work of Ludwig von Mises and his libertarian outlook on politics and war. Hardcover with dust jacket, notes, additional recommended reading list, indexed, 450pp. Jacket shows serious fading to spine, is neatly encased in an acid-free archival protector. Rare. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
