Award-winning historian and author George C. Herring gives an overview of American diplomacy, as described in his new book, From Colony to Superpower: US Foreign Relations Since 1776. Herring uses foreign relations as the lens through which to tell the story of America's dramatic rise from 13 disparate colonies huddled along the Atlantic coast to the world's greatest superpower. This book is the latest volume in the Oxford History of the United States series.
