Title: An American Apoligist
Review: Through this ambitious book, James Carroll has established himself as the undisputed captain of American apologists. In this tedious and sometimes uneven narration he manages to ascribe a dark purpose to even the most benevolent acts of American charity. Can anyone consent to the notion, as Carroll argues, that the Marshall Plan that followed World War II was an over act of aggression against the Soviet Union?In order to agree with Carroll one must subscribe to the author's bizarre belief that every American administration from the time of Franklin D. Roosevelt was corrupted by the Pentagon and that America has, for the last sixty years, represented the dark side of the universe. This is a lesson in revisionist history.
