Black describes nine "phases" of the strategic rise of the nation, in which it progressed through grave challenges, civil and foreign wars, and secured a place for itself under the title of "Superpower." He discredits prevailing notions that our unrivaled status is the product of good geography, demographics, and good luck. Instead, he reveals and analyzes the specific strategic decisions of great statesmen through<span> the ages that transformed the world as we know it and established America's place in it.</span> <span></span> <br> Abstract: American leaders George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson paved their nation's way to independence. With the first buds of public relation techniques--of communication,<span> dramatization, and propaganda--America flourished into a vision of freedom, of enterprise, and of unalienable human rights.</span> <span></span>
