A fierce critique of civil religion as the taproot of Americas bid for global hegemonyPulitzer Prizewinning historian Walter A. 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 countrys history, McDougalls 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 decadeslong 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.

I was excited to read 'The Tragedy of U.S. Foreign Policy', but my copy arrived with torn pages, which was disappointing. The content seems interesting, but I haven't been able to dive in fully yet. I wish the quality control was better.

Engaging but Lacks Depth in Some Areas
While I enjoyed 'The Tragedy of U.S. Foreign Policy', I expected more depth on certain historical events. The writing is engaging, but it skimmed over crucial topics that could’ve used more elaboration. Still, it's a decent read for casual learners.

A Must-Read for History Buffs
I picked up 'The Tragedy of U.S. Foreign Policy' after hearing so much buzz around it. The insights into America's civil religion and its impact on foreign policy are eye-opening. Definitely a thought-provoking read, especially if you’re into politics and history.

Brilliant Analysis of U.S. Policy Failures
This book really opened my eyes to how civil religion has influenced U.S. foreign decisions. The author's arguments are compelling, and it’s well-researched. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to understand the motivations behind our foreign policies.

Interesting Perspective, but Some Repetitiveness
This book dives deep into how U.S. foreign policy has been shaped by civil religion, which is fascinating. However, I felt some parts were repetitive, making it a bit tedious in spots. Still worth reading if you're interested in U.S. history.
