Synopsis

“Thrilling, unsettling, but ultimately hopeful and redemptive. Both an urgent and vital call to arms and a practical manual for front-line troops in the battle for kindness, significance, and downright survival.” — Charles Foster, Fellow of Green Templeton College, University of Oxford & author of the New York Times bestsellers Being a Beast and Being a Human

As American society becomes more polarized by the day, the question of how this "exceptional nation" can hope to regain its mojo is more pressing than ever before. After a detailed historical analysis of American exceptionalism, Howard Burton examines why America is an exceptional nation, but not, significantly, in the way that most Americans think it is. With his unique blend of wry humour and clear-headed analysis, the author wades into America's partisan fray, weaving together historical investigation, pop culture and a passionate belief in the country's true strengths in order to develop a concrete way out of the current culture war.
