The Eagle's Shadow




The Eagle's Shadow:
Why America Fascinates and Infuriates the World

by Mark Hertsgaard
Farrar, Straus and Giroux; October 2002

Book Talk  
The ShowThe BooksTalk BackRecommended


Description:

How can the world's most open society be so proud of its founding ideals yet so inconsistent in applying them? So loved for its pop culture but so resented for its high-handedness? Exploring such paradoxes, Hertsgaard exposes uplifting and uncomfortable truths that force natives and outsiders alike to see America with fresh eyes.
