"Empire for a time became a quaintly antiquated word, banished from the political spectrum with the collapse of European colonial rule in Africa and AsiaNow, the word has come back as journalists, scholars and politicians try to come to grips with the singular power of the United States." - FROM LESSONS OF EMPIRE"
