The focus of the book is the cost of empire, particularly the cost in the American case - the internal burden of American global leadership.

Picking up from the point at which Pursuing the Progressive Case ended, this second volume of essays observing the Obama presidency in real time charts the increasingly difficult conditions under which progressives within and beyond his administration struggled for leverage and impact during the President's second term.

Commenting on political events in real time used to be the preserve of the well-placed political journalist and of no one else.
