• At last: Someone Who Understands America Has Failed
  Kirkpatrick Sale Why America Failed: The Roots of Imperial Decline Morris Berman Wiley. 2011 Why America Failed, which this book is not about, is nonetheless a devastating and eviscerating critique proving convincingly that America has failed, and abominably, even tragically.  That makes it a very important book that I hope will find an attentive audience […]
