Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace
1 videodisc (57 min.) : sound, color, with black and white sequences ; 4 3/4 in.
Documentary that chronicles how the United States became "the world's policeman" and questions how long it must continue to play this role. Explores the history of American military intervention and the future of America's military commitment abroad. Also examines America's contemporary role on the international stage, and asks whether it is time to rethink its current policies, scale down military spending, and bring our allies back into the game as fellow "umpires." Incudes archival footage with interviews from former secretaries of state, Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners, and scholars from around the world.
