While America Sleeps

While America Sleeps

"While America Sleeps" is a book by historians Donald Kagan and Frederick Kagan, published September 2000. Their thesis was that the United States at the end of the Cold War resembled Britain following World War I. They argue for a policy of strengthening U.S. defense and a willingness to use force. Michael Lind has argued that the book contributed to neoconservative thought in U.S. foreign policy. [http://www.thenation.com/doc/20040223/lind]

Title

Two similarly-titled works were published around the time of World War II: "While England Slept" (1938), by future British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and "Why England Slept" (1940), by future U.S. President John F. Kennedy, at the time a Harvard University undergraduate student.
