After America: The Death of the American Idea
After America The Death of the American Idea Author:Mark Steyn Forget Jimmy Carter, LBJ’s Great Society, or the new New Deal. The new Administration is embarking on something far more radical and transformative: a full-scale Europeanization of American exceptionalism.

If you thought America Alone was both horrifying and hilarious, After America will have you laughing through your tears as Steyn reveals the drastic—and disastrous— changes that are in store for America.« less
