Critical and balanced, this study by a group of scientists explores the history of the United States in order to discover not only the effects that certain events have had on the image Americans have of themselves but also on the image others have of them. It particularly looks at the radically changing image of the United States after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, discussing how the Western world was first shocked by the attack and then gradually felt antipathy and even undisguised hate as the U.S. became increasingly involved in Middle Eastern politics and declared war on Iraq.

Store description
Originally started as an amateur venture, Seagull Books has grown into a knowledgable and reputable on-line book vendor. Our inventory is growing all the time, and we are constantly updating our stock with the latest finds. Whilst we do not currently offer a book tracing service, we are always happy to hear from customers looking for a particular title, and may just be able to help. We specialise in out-of-print books - particularly paperbacks - and never cease to be amazed at what is no longer considered worth publishing! Many of our customers clearly share that view.…
