 Conservative Book Club: The Empire Has No Clothes by Eland, Ivan
But in The Empire Has No Clothes: U.S. Foreign Policy Exposed, defense and foreign policy expert Ivan Eland argues that U.S. military interventionism harms us politically, economically, and militarily -- and that we would be freer, more secure and more prosperous if we reduced our military involvement overseas.
Eland shows that the concept of empire is wholly contrary to the Founding Fathers' vision for a free republic, and advocates a return to their policy of military restraint overseas.
He also shows how, in recent years, "blowback" from our military interventions has begun to threaten the American homeland itself, while the enormous expansion of domestic federal power increasingly curtails the very liberties those interventions were supposed to protect.
