| Sommario/riassunto: | Mark Twain called it "pious hypocrisies." President McKinley called it "civilizing and Christianizing." In God's Arbiters, Susan K. Harris shows that the identification of the U.S. as a "Christian Nation" played a major role in the debates over U.S. imperialism at the turn of the twentieth century. |
