Challenging empire with a clear conscience and a call for accountability.
A sharp critique of American expansion and its human costs, written to expose how promotions of “civilization” hid power and profit abroad. In this volume, the author dismantles justifications for imperial rule, contrasts “protective” claims with real consequences, and argues for a higher standard of conduct in foreign policy. It offers a historical perspective on the Philippines and a bold alternative to conquest, proposing joint protection and self-government as wiser paths.

The author, a keen observer of American politics, analyzes the arguments for expanding American territories by claiming a duty to benefit both the US and subjugated countries. The author questions the validity of arguments centered on philanthropy or duty to the world, suggesting they are a guise for economic gain.
