About this title

Review:

‘Anatol Lieven’s fascinating and incisive analysis of American Nationalism...Lieven provides a compelling argument.’ London Review of Books

‘This is a rich book. Lieven hopes it will help to persuade American intellectuals to reflect on their own nationalism, as Europeans were forced to do.’ Independent

‘Illuminating...Lieven draws on his wide reading, consultation and much personal observation to bring balance, perspective, and historical sense to what is a rather intricate tale.’ Martin Woollacott, Guardian
