The author of America Alone is back with another large parcel of bad news and sardonic humor. In his previous book, he prophesied the collapse of every country in the western world except the U.S. In his new offering, he describes our country's rapid descent into economic and geopolitical Armageddon. Steyn foresees a post-American world where China is the new superpower, the Middle East is dominated by Iran, and our domestic scene has descended into chaos. An energetic, witty appraisal of approaching doom.

For those who love to keep on the cutting edge of information especially about this great nation that we live in. This book is another eye-opening, great detailed, informative book that would give great insight in where our nation is going.
A must read for these troubled times.

A fine read in typical Mark Steyn style. His "what if?" approach and theories for America's outcome if we continue to hurtle down the path we are now on. Parallels to the decline of European nations and the interaction of that bunch of nations and the United States...and how we can look like the 3rd world if we choose to continue in the downward direction we are being forced to travel presently. A sobering conjecture to make you think what things could look like if we don't abort this ride to doom.

Steyn is not as humorous and witty as book cover reviewers would have you believe. He uses an age old technique of laying the foundation for his eventual rant with anecdotes about social, political and economic observations and situations which have you nodding in agreement. Then he lays out his conservative ipso facto: if you agree with Point A and B, then you must agree with the root cause of C.
He is an example of why politics has gone beyond annoying to downright scary.

I should have known by the title of the book to be leery. I purchased it and was very disappointed. I wouldn't recommend this book.

Overview
Optimistic About America’s Future?Don’t Be.
In his giant New York Times bestseller, America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, Mark Steyn predicted collapse for the rest of the Western World. Now, he adds, America has caught up with Europe on the great rush to self-destruction.
It’s not just our looming financial collapse; it’s not just a culture that seems on a fast track to perdition, full of hapless, indulgent, childish people who think government has the answer for ...
