Why America Matters: The Case For A New Exceptionalism

Who are we? Where are we going? And why are we so divided? Why America matters addresses these questions and argues that the place Americans call home is worth fighting for. The widely held belief of past generations -- that America is special, with an extraordinary role to play in the world -- remains true, but has been undermined by external adversaries, internal contradictions, and weakness of vision. Why America matters reveals how the nation faces four crises: extraordinary circumstances, confused identity, corrupt institutions, and inept policy engagement. The idea of America is under attack, yet many of our wounds are self-inflicted. Powerful forces within our country -- hostile to the ideals of America -- seem to be winning. These agents seek to rewrite America's history, undermine its institutions, and silence those who don't agree. All the while, America's foreign adversaries prey on our divisions and weaknesses--Back cover.
