Ben Stein and Phil DeMuth examine anti-American anger-not from other countries but the homegrown anti-Americanism to the left of the political spectrum. They present a clear portrait of what is wrong with the national mood and offer a way to fight back.The book explores the psychology behind national self-loathing, which, the authors say, is flourishing on university campuses and in Democratic candidate debates and liberal fundraisers. Can America Survive? presents a unique approach that attempts to explain political beliefs in terms of psychology.
