The series includes three Pulitzer Prize-winners, a \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestseller, and winners of prestigious Bancroft and Parkman Prizes. \u003cem\u003eFrom Colony to Superpower\u003c\/em\u003e is the only thematic volume commissioned for the series. Here George C. Herring uses foreign relations as the lens through which to tell the story of America's dramatic rise from thirteen disparate colonies huddled along the Atlantic coast to the world's greatest superpower. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA sweeping account of United States' foreign relations and diplomacy, this magisterial volume documents America's interaction with other peoples and nations of the world. Herring tells a story of stunning successes and sometimes tragic failures, captured in a fast-paced narrative that illuminates the central importance of foreign relations to the existence and survival of the nation, and highlights its ongoing impact on the lives of ordinary citizens. He shows how policymakers defined American interests broadly to include territorial expansion, access to growing markets, and the spread of an \"American way\" of life. And Herring does all this in a story rich in human drama and filled with epic events. Statesmen such as Benjamin Franklin and Woodrow Wilson and Harry Truman and Dean Acheson played key roles in America's rise to world power. But America's expansion as a nation also owes much to the adventurers and explorers, the sea captains, merchants and captains of industry, the\u003cbr\u003emissionaries and diplomats, who discovered or charted new lands, developed new avenues of commerce, and established and defended the nation's interests in foreign lands. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the American Revolution to the fifty-year struggle with communism and conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, \u003cem\u003eFrom Colony to Superpower\u003c\/em\u003e tells the dramatic story of America's emergence as superpower--its birth in revolution, its troubled present, and its uncertain future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorge C.
