Description
After the 9/st attack on the United States, the brief moment of global sympatier America soon began giving way to blame to France and other quarters of Europe and elsewhere in the world, it was said that the Americans had brought this violence upon themselves. The U.S. was a "cowboy" nation disinclined to abide by the will of the United Nations and other multilateral institutions, and bent on pursuing its objectives at any cost. It was the "hyperpower" whose corporations manipulated world markets and whose riches were acquired at the price of Third World impoverishment. No wonder it had been attacked!
Angered by these assaults on a nation he knows and admires, the distinguished French intellectual Jean-Franรงois Revel has come to America's defense in Anti-Ameri- canism, a biting and erudite book that (para- doxically, given his country's especially vehement attacks on the U.S. and its poli- cies) spent several weeks late last year on top of France's bestseller list.
Jean-Franรงois Revel explores the strengths of America and exposes the agendas of the anti-Americans in his own country, in Europe and around the globe. At a time when much of the world appears to be marching against America, Revel's clear- headed analysis of the protestors' motives shows what they're really marching for, and what the world will lose if their anti- Americanism prevails.
