America faces attacks from multiple directions. Critics in France condemn American power and influence. Asian voices question Western leadership. Islamic perspectives challenge American values and foreign policy. Domestic multiculturalists argue against American exceptionalism. D'Souza takes on each critique directly. He identifies the real strengths that justify America's position as leader of the Western world. The same qualities that make America powerful also make it a target for terrorism and sustained criticism. D'Souza argues these attacks miss the mark. He presents evidence for why America deserves its global role. The book examines what sets America apart from other nations. D'Souza makes the case that American leadership benefits the world.
