This book provides an innovative and critical view into the linkages between discourse and politics and between culture and policies within the United States looking at various critical moments in the history of the development of the American Empire.

Ultimately, this book provides insight into the complex interrelationships between policy, the military, discourse, and culture focusing upon the power centres of discourse creation while connecting previously disjointed lines of historical and media research considering the U.S. military and its undisputed global impact throughout the twentieth and twenty-first century.
