What's so Great about America, America is under attack as never before-not only from, terrorists, but from people who provide a rationale for terrorism. Islamic intellectuals declare America the "Great Satan." Europeans rail against American "globalism" as embodied by McDonald's. In our own country, on the political Left, there are still those who blame America for every ill in the world. And left-wing multiculturalism-dominant in our own schools and universities-teaches students that Western and American culture is no better than, and probably worse than, Third World cultures. Even on the political Right, traditionally the home of patriotism, there are those who say that America has become so decadent that we are "slouching towards Gomorrah" and should expect "the death of the West." But in What's So Great About America, bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza takes on all of America's critics and proves them wrong-as perhaps only a writer with an immigrant's understanding of this country can. He defends not an idealized America, but America as it really is, and measures America not against Utopia, but against the rest of the world in a provocative, challenging book.

Thoughtful and engaging, What's So Great About America offers the grounds for a solid, well-considered patriotism-the sort of patriotism that America will need to sustain itself in the many challenges that lie ahead. Book jacket.
