      abstract = {This elegantly written book examines the structure and  impact of empires and asks whether the United States shares  their traits and behavior. Charles S. Maier outlines the  essentials of empire throughout history, then explores the  exercise of U.S. power in the nineteenth and twentieth  centuries. With learning, dispassion, and clarity, Among  Empires offers bold comparisons and an original account of  American power.},
