| Synopsis: |
'A scholarly study of the real roots of what Jacobson calls 'America's largely assimilated but ultimately 'unmeltable' ethics'. It's a startling point of view for readers who are accustomed to the self-congratulatory myth of America as a beacon of liberty to which the 'huddled masses' of the world look with longing' - Jonathan Kirsch, "Los Angeles Times". |
