How I Stopped Sneering and Learned to Love America. Forget everything you think you know about the USA. Forget George Bush, put to one side the Iraq war, avert your eyes from the overweight inhabitants of Kansas. This book is about the real USA: a nation more misunderstood than any other on earth. It is a counterblast to the lazy anti-Americanism that infects European thinking, an effort to answer the simple question, 'Why is America so successful?' without sneering at that success or claiming that it is illegitimate or unreal. This book puts the rough edges of American life in context, geographically and intellectually. Hardback, Weight: 438g.
