More DescriptionThe lies of anti-American propagandists are proven false once and for all. Left-wing critics relish blasting our country for being the world’s sole superpower, or even an “imperialist” power. But as acclaimed military historian Bevin Alexander shows inHow America Got It Right, the United States has done and continues to do exactly the right thing in military and foreign affairs. As the world’s only dominant political and military power, he says, we are the only nation able to go out into the world and strike down evil. And we must not shirk that responsibility—especially because we cannot rely on our so-called allies to defend our freedoms. How America Got It Rightreveals: • How in the War on Terror we’re simply repeating the process of World War II: going wherever we have to in the world to destroy those who threaten our safety • How unpatriotic critics of American foreign policy fail to understand the clear threats we now grapple with—but how our leaders get it • How a policy of securing other people’s freedom is in fact grounded in American tradition, not a dangerous departure from precedent Covering more than two centuries of history,How America Got It Rightrefutes those critics who suggest that America has somehow gone off course and shows how our government has, in fact, gotten it right at every turn from the American Revolution to the War on Terror.
