| Summary | "The Twentieth Century American" by H. Perry Robinson is a comparative study of the peoples of the United States and Great Britain written in the early 20th century. The text aims to promote a better understanding between these two Anglo-Saxon nations, exploring themes such as their shared history, cultural values, and political dynamics. Robinson, who has lived in the U.S. for nearly two decades, provides insights into the evolving relationship between both countries, particularly in light of changing global circumstances. At the start of the work, the author emphasizes the importance of reevaluating the historical principle of avoiding "entangling alliances." As America evolves into a world power, Robinson argues that such isolationist policies are impractical and potentially dangerous. He expresses optimism that an Anglo-American alliance could foster universal peace, drawing on the historical connections and mutual interests between the two nations. The opening sets the tone for a thoughtful consideration of political ideals and the responsibilities accompanying America’s emergence as a global power.
