United States' history from other ancient civilizations' perspective

Question

The other night it struck me how interesting it would be to read United States' history from the perspective of other cultures that already existed at the time, and preferably from the perspective of the most ancient civilizations. How did they learn about it, what did they have to say at the time and what was their strategy / approach, how did they handle this new entity throughout history?Any recommendations on books or other resources that cover this?

I'm not sure I understand your question. From, say, France's perspective? Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy In America may be what you're looking for. More recently, I'm sure that there are tons of French perspectives on the US available.Or do you mean from the perspective of ancient Rome or Greece? That would more likely be speculative historical fiction. Someone may have written such, but I don't know of any examples.
