The book is based on the facts in which author has attempted some answers to the questions, which many American have been quitly asking themselves since 11th September 2001. " why do they Hate us?" The strength of USA as a nation , as a society, as a military , economic and technological power, is too well known and the author has desisted from repeating these on the simplistic assumptions that the dislike which certain groups harbour for this giant is merely an expression of the envy which poor cousins usually display for thier rich relations. The author exposes the American life style that is known to exist but has seldome been explored by the Americans and by others. The range of subjects covered is impressive- stretching from support for dictators world wide, arms trade , the drugs trade destabilizations of democratic governments and the responces of to international treaty obligations. etc. Religious bigots who object to Darwin in schools, to abolition of death penality and to gun control laws, those who fire-bomb abortion clinics or go on a rampage because a jury acquits or convicts a person of a particular skin colour find their place. The American judicery which has had taken its dark movements ranging from infamous Dred Scot Case to Florida Election, also finds its share. The author has called this book a " Wake Up Call " for Americans.
