In a completely original analysis, McCoy explores America's rise as a world power, from the 1890s through the Cold War and its bid to extend its hegemony deep into the twenty-first century through a fusion of cyberwar, space warfare, trade pacts, and military alliances. McCoy then analyzes the marquee instruments of American hegemony--covert intervention, client elites, psychological torture, and worldwide surveillance.

Alfred McCoy's 2009 book Policing America's Empire won the Kahin Prize from the Association for Asian Studies.
