About this product

Product Information

From the award-winning, #1 bestselling author of A Short History of Progresscomes another surprising, frightening and essential book. The USA is now the world's lone superpower, whose deeds could make or break this century. For better and worse, America has Americanized the world. How did a marginal frontier society, in a mere two centuries, become the de facto ruler of the world? Why do America's great achievements in democracy, prosperity and civil rights now seem threatened by forces within itself? Brimming with insight into history and human behaviour, and written in Wright's captivating style, What Is America?shows how this came to pass; how the United States, which regards itself as the most modern country on earth, is also deeply archaic, a stronghold not only of religious fundamentalism but of "modern" beliefs in limitless progress and a universal mission that have fallen under suspicion elsewhere in the west, a rethinking driven by two World Wars and the reckless looting of our planet. A fresh, passionate look at the past and future of the world's most powerful nation, What Is America?will reframe the debate about our neighbour and ourselves. From the Hardcover edition.

Forget whatever you thought you knew about the conquest of America.
As ever with this insightful writer, he eschews the conventional wisdom and delves into original sources. With embarrassing accuracy, he dismisses most of the hitherto received sources and delivers a painful but compelling story. The history of the Aztecs, Incas and Noth american indians is exposed as the pack of lies that has been told to date, and he portrays a horrifying lack of any kind of sensibility in the invaders, while stressing the effects of European diseases as the main reasons for the success of the invaders. This is a must-read.
