Rethinking Anti-Americanism : The History of an Exceptional Concept in American Foreign Relations

Omtale

This book challenges the scholarly consensus that anti-Americanism stems from foreigners envious of America's modern society and democratic nature. Based on research in nine countries, it reveals how anti-Americanism has been misused for over 200 years to stifle domestic dissent and dismiss foreign criticism from the War of 1812 to the Cold War, from Vietnam to Iraq.
