Brilliant Sentiments, Indeed!

Sentimental Imperialists is a great book. The three specialists who wrote this explore in depth the development of America and the past, present, and future of the American-East Asian relationship. It was an assigned text for one of my university Asian history courses back in the 1980s, but I have returned to it over the years to reread many a time. It has some brilliant insights into the nature of America. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in Asian-American relations and/or Pacific history, including all the various military endeavors. Everything is covered in here, especially the psychology of the nation behind some of the most dramatic military and political events that helped shape the world. The insights into America are deep, illuminating, and many times startling.
