One of the most effective weapons in the neocon arsenal is the historical narrative that they have constructed concerning America’s place in the world since the end of WW II. The British historian Andrew Roberts, in his book A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900, has constructed another such narrative. As the title indicates, his narrative covers the whole of the 20th century, but it has important points in common with the narrative of the American neocons.
