Title: Disappointing, shallow
Review: I bought the book because of its sub-title "How we got to be so hated". I expected to find some insights into the fallacies of US foreign policy and how it created much hatred to the US around the world. None of that. Intead, most of the book revolves around the Oaklahoma City bombing and the perceived loss of civil liberties due to the war on terrorism.The author's arguments are shallow, not supported by facts and quite often he resolves to demagoguery and under-the-belt blows to make his point, not very convincingly.That's very disappointing because US foreign policy and its inconsistencies (e.g. advocating democracy and human rights while at the same time supporting oppressive autocratic regimes and states that violate international law) is a great subject for a book and could well indeed explain to the American public "how we got to be so hated".
