Many call this “policing” the world and attempting to influence the world into the American ideology that would create the ultimate “Pax Americana.” 1 Whether or not this was a goal of America or a position they have simply been placed in whether it was desired or not. the United States has stepped in, on many occasions, in the civil wars of other countries, where American investment or interests have been low. Many feel it is the humanitarian aspects that draw America’s involvement. Regardless, many Americans are tired of this country being place in that position. Others, however, including experts in their field, like Max Boot, have a different perspective on Americas place in world politics. In his novel, "The Savage Wars of Peace: Small Wars and the Rise of American Power," Boot shares that he believes that America has always been heading towards the title of Pax Americana and the country should police the rest of the world. His book, although well-written, is not as thorough enough to support all of the assumptions he presents. this lends weaknesses to his overall perspective. History Max Boot’s book is 15 chapters in total. 14 of which are essentially the same, while it is the concluding chapter where all of the author’s validations in his research are made. ...

He explains that this was likely an intentional act. The first 14 chapters simply detail all of the wars that American has been a participant. Boot explains that in many of these wars since the late 1800s has been about that goal of becoming Pax Americana In these wars fought the United States has had no formal declarations of war, no exit strategies, involvement was half-hearted, like in the Boxer uprising, soldiers were acting a social workers, no direct national interest for America, U.S. troops were answering to foreign military, and these campaigns had little public support at home 2 This leaves humanitarian and political endeavors as the answer to American involvement. At least, that is Boot’s perspective and he does not consider humanitarian reasoning to be the most likely. Unfortunately, the first 14 chapters of Boot’s book is a rather biased review of every war fought since the Civil War, where Boot presents American figures and intentions as the side of “good” that always prevail against the evil enemy. Then in the 15th chapter explains how his interpretation of these wars verifies his thesis that America is intentionally becoming the global police and that is what it should be doing. However, that does not hold up under deeper scrutiny because he essentially takes the events that happened and assumes the intentions and ideals behind these battles. he then adapts these events to suit his theory. He failed to do the deeper research necessary to make such a bold hypothesis.
