Title: Contains Almost Nothing About What Foreigners Think
Review: This book devotes only a few pages to recounting meetings with just a few individuals overseas. Almost all of the book's 200+ pages are devoted to an unexceptional exposition of the author's opinions. The book sometimes implies, without providing any support, that these opinions are representative of what foreigners think of America, but usually not even that effort is made to connect the author's opinions with the alleged theme of the book.If you are an American who keeps up with the news, you have already heard what the author has to say. If you are a liberal you might even agree with it. If you are not, you will find this book especially tedious. Hertsgaard is preaching to the choir and seems to assume that you will believe whatever he says. Whatever your political view, you will not find any fresh insights in this book.I can recommend to all that they skip "The Eagle's Shadow."
