If the United States faced dictatorships in every direction
A bold speculative essay argues that without allies such as Britain Russia and China the United States would be isolated and facing near-certain defeat. It contends war would come and demand total national sacrifice with Canada and perhaps Mexico as the only allies while South America would drift toward Pacific and Atlantic powers.
