Gullible Superpower

U.S. Support for Bogus Foreign Democratic Movements

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Gullible Superpower examines the most prominent cases in which well-meaning Americans have supported misguided policies to aid highly questionable individuals, organizations, and movements. A dismal track record over nearly four decades underscores the need for future U.S. leaders to adopt a policy of skepticism and restraint toward foreign movements that purport to embrace democracy.
