McDougall argues powerfully that a pervasive but radically changing faith that "God is on our side" has inspired U.S. foreign policy ever since 1776. The first comprehensive study of the role played by civil religion in U.S. foreign relations over the entire course of the countryÌs history, McDougall's book explores the deeply infused religious rhetoric that has sustained and driven an otherwise secular republic through peace, war, and global interventions for more than two hundred years. From the Founding Fathers and the crusade for independence to the Monroe Doctrine, through World Wars I and II and the decades-long Cold War campaign against "godless Communism," this coruscating polemic reveals the unacknowledged but freely exercised dogmas of civil religion that bind together a "God blessed" America, sustaining the nation in its pursuit of an ever elusive global destiny. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations. 650 0 $a Civil religion $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / World. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Diplomacy. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 5 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014217.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213020929.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006103559.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180502011459.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20171026010422.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7F79DABAB85D11E6BDBAC4DDDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
