This book investigates the origins and current state of American Exceptionalism, an American ideology that posits the United States as uniquely virtuous and divinely favored among nations. The author contends that this concept has its roots in the Puritan era, when settlers believed they were creating a "city upon a hill" that would serve as a model for the rest of the world. This belief has persisted throughout American history, shaping the nation's foreign and domestic policies. The book examines how American Exceptionalism has been used to justify everything from westward expansion to the Cold War, and argues that it has often led to a sense of American superiority and a reluctance to engage with the rest of the world on equal terms. Ultimately, the author argues that American Exceptionalism is a double-edged sword that can both inspire and delude.
