Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A controversial and timely exploration of the dark side of American idealism -- and its potentially dangerous consequences for the world. In this thoughtful critique of America's role in the world, Lieven contends that US foreign policy since 9/11 has been shaped by the special character of its national identity, which embraces two contradictory features. The first, a civic nationalism or 'creed' which espouses liberty and democracy, sometimes irrespective of the needs and desires of others. The other feature, Jacksonian nationalism, has its roots in the defensive White America, and is fed by a profound pessimism and a sense of personal, social and religious defeat. Lieven examines how these two opposing impulses have played out in recent US policy and suggests that, in the Middle East in particular, the uneasy combination of policies has gravely undermined US credibility and complicated the war against terrorism. Drawing comparisons with earlier European models, Lieven offers powerful insights into alarming elements of the American psyche and their disturbing implications for the coming century. This hard-hitting study directs a spotlight on the American political soul and on the curious mixture of chauvinism and idealism that has been exploited by the Bush administration. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Originally published over half a decade ago, Anatol Lieven\'s America Right or Wrong has become a classic analysis of the special character of American nationalism. As he demonstrated, America\'s foreign policy response to the 9/11 attacks flowed directly from a nationalistic tradition that was two centuries in the making. Within that nationalism, Lieven identified two strands. The first was the \"American thesis,\" a civic nationalism based on the democratic values of what has been called the \"American Creed.\" These values are held to be universal, and anyone can become an American by adopting them. The other tradition, the \"American antithesis\" is a populist and often chauvinist nationalism, which tends to see America as a closed national culture and civilization threatened by a hostile and barbarous outside world.Much has changed since 9/11. The American public has turned inward in the wake of the Great Recession, but interestingly, Lieven\'s fundamental analysis of American nationalism remains powerful and convincing. In this expanded new edition, he includes and in-depth analysis of the domestic component of both the American creed and the American antithesis. Barack Obama\'s improbable election to the presidency illustrates well the first strand. The rise of the Tea Party in response to both the financial crisis and the Obama administration\'s response is highly characteristic of the second strand. Lieven concentrates especially on the Tea Party\'s hard-edged American nationalism, which is evident in anti-immigration sentiment, hatred of Obama, and opposition to redistributive social programs that allegedly reward the unworthy. His account of Obama\'s election and the right-wing response to the economic collapse not only bring the story up to the present, but indicate the staying power of the book\'s hard-hitting thesis.
