The book explores the historical and ideological foundations of the American belief in their identity as an elect nation. It examines the perception of the United States as a "promised land" with a special relationship with God, emphasizing its mission to promote democracy globally as a form of "redemption." Through this lens, the author delves into how these ideas have shaped American self-understanding and foreign policy throughout history.
