The Short American Century

“Declining empires are dangerous. Popular enlightenment is urgent, and this book…will help… It is a valuable step toward the self-knowledge Americans will need if we and the rest of the world are to survive the long centuries ahead.”—George Scialabba, Dissent

“This collection of essays constitutes a how-to manual for people who sense something deeply wrong with the current bipartisan consensus on American power, but can’t quite articulate what it is.”—Nick Baumann, Commonweal

“Bracing and provocative.”—Kirkus Reviews
