Along the way, he demonstrates how this \"nation of laws\" has so completely subverted the law of nations that the current America-dominated international order ends up, like the U.S. itself, functioning in a manner diametrically opposed to the ideals of freedom and democracy it professes to embrace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy tracing the evolution of federal Indian law, Churchill is able to show how the premises set forth therein not only spilled over onto non-Indians in the U.S., but were also adapted for application abroad. The trajectory of America's imperial logic can be followed all the way to the present New World Order in which \"what we say goes\" at the dawn of the third millennium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWard Churchill has achieved an unparalleled reputation as a scholar-activist and analyst of indigenous issues.
