The Great League of Peace and Power

The Great League of Peace and Power

An authoritative history of American foreign policy—published for the nation’s 250th anniversary—from a veteran scholar and teacher. The Great League of Peace and Power provides a lucid history of American foreign policy and international affairs from the Declaration of Independence in 1776 to its 250th anniversary in 2026. In this concise overview, David C. Hendrickson explores the principal ideas, debates, and strategic challenges that continue to shape today’s wars, alliances, and global commitments. Hendrickson rejects the idea that America’s traditional policy of independence was “isolationist,” as it had internationalist elements from the beginning. The Founders wanted a new order in North America that would be the antitype of the European system of venomous rivalry among states. Twentieth-century leaders built a system of collective defense that, after the end of the Cold War, morphed into a universal empire, often with disastrous results. At the heart of this story are fierce domestic debates over power and principle. Hendrickson brings to life the enduring ideas that have guided and divided Americans for generations: neutrality and intervention, diplomacy and war, restraint and dominance. From the early republic to the age of Trump, he shows how these arguments never disappeared but instead resurfaced whenever the nation faced crisis abroad. Clear, authoritative, and deeply relevant, The Great League of Peace and Power speaks directly to today’s readers who are questioning America’s role on the global stage. Hendrickson ultimately argues that older American diplomatic traditions—grounded in peace, reciprocity, and limits on power—offer the best way forward in an era of global overstretch and rising needs at home. As the United States reflects on its 250th anniversary, this timely book offers a bracing reassessment of America’s past and a compelling lens for understanding its uncertain future.

At a time when multiple wars are raging across much of the Middle East, it is almost forgotten that it was Abu al-Qasim Abbas ibn Firnas ibn Wirdas at-Takurni – an Andalusian inventor, physician and engineer – who was the first person to undertake experiments in flying with any degree of success. That was back in the 9th Century A.D. Nigh on a thousand years later the Arab World's critical strategic location made it almost inevitable that these regions would be drawn into the imperial rivalries of the leading European powers, while the Ottoman Empire struggled to maintain its existing position in the area. This in turn meant that the first bombs to be dropped by military aircraft fell on Arab soil. Not surprisingly, as the Arab countries slowly achieved their independence, they too wanted to have air forces. In 1948 the first such Arab air forces were thrown into battle in an ill-fated attempt to keep Palestine as a primarily Arab country. Based on decades of consistent research, but also newly available sources in both Arabic and various European languages, and richly illustrated with a wide range of authentic photography, Volume 1 of the Air Power and the Arab World, 1909-1955 mini-series is telling the story of the men and machines of the first half century of military aviation in the Arab World.

In July 2021 I met with the authors of this unique volume - Conor Cook and Grace Brown. This was an unusual interview with a pair of authors. We met in the home of my son, Bruce Cook and reminisced over extracts from historical collections about homes of the David C. Cook family - my father David C. Cook III, my Grandfather David C. Cook II, and my Great Grandfather - David C. Cook I -often called "The Friend of the Sunday School." Now, to be honest, Conor and Grace are my grandchildren, and I love their talent for writing. And, while we got together to share historical vignettes, I should mention that we also enjoyed my son's barbeque cooking and a plate of cookies just prepared by his wife and my daughter, Helen Brown. And, thanks to my wife, Mary Homeier Cook, for suggesting this book.
