McCoy provides a thorough analysis of the current US geopolitical posture and compares its current position, behavior and prospects to recent former empires such as France, Britain and the Soviet Union. His analysis rests on Sir Halford Mackinder‘s 1904 theory of geopolitical strength lying along the lines of control around the axial points of Europe-Asia-Africa. Detailing current US capabilities and strategy, he believes the US empire is waning.
