“An in-depth look at domestic and foreign policy in the United States, Oh Say Can You See “America” by John E. Suraj Persad is an insightful manifesto lamenting America’s fall from an international powerhouse, allowing itself to be overtaken by other foreign powers, which is potentially going to get much worse in the coming years. Told from a decidedly conservative viewpoint, the book is not as slanted as one might expect, especially in regards to international matters. At times, Persad veers into partisan bias, but overall his findings are sobering and methodically presented, illustrating how America is losing its hard-fought stature on the international stage, which is in part a result of perilous domestic issues – a fact that both sides of the aisle would be hard-pressed to disagree with. Short on comparison to other books from a conservative or liberal viewpoint, the book stands out as an incisive look at international politics at a time when the world stage is all the more volatile.” The Independent Review of Books
A Critical Analysis of America and it's Policies with Respect to China The book provides a critical analysis of America and it's Policies, especially with regards to Chinese government policies. It puts a spotlight on the various ways China is growing it's reach and power, especially by extending loans and monetary support to smaller nations, and how it is becoming a challenge for America. The author tries to highlight the danger the US may face if it does not instantly make major amendments in its internal and external policies while providing a roadmap for change.
Well written and entertaining! OH, SAY CAN YOU SEE “AMERICA”: OH, AMERICA, CAN YOU REALLY SEE? “TROUBLE AHEAD FOR AMERICA” is a book discussing the challenges of the nation and what direction it's heading towards. Plenty of topics to discussed and some you will agree with and some you won't. Either way, it makes you really think about everything and how we got to this point. I recommend this book for anyone interested in politics and moving a country forward.
An examination of the place America occupies in a fast changing global landscape. A volume covering the American influence on the global stage and the internal issues facing the country. A large proportion of the book is based on the threat to the US global hegemony by the resurgence of a strong China, along with an examination of the current internal conflicts in the nation. This is a book with a definite conservative political bias, and as such, whilst being an in depth examination of the factors mentioned, is also a flawed work which refuses to see clearly the dysfunction in the American view of itself, maintaining as it does that America's global influence is led by the desire to promote democracy and freedom despite the obvious evidence to the contrary.

A book to read no matter your stance A detailed examination of America's place in the world, particularly in relation to China. While the book provided valuable insights into geopolitical challenges and societal issues, I couldn't shake the feeling that the focus on China was overwhelming - other global competitors exist too.As I reflected on the content, I appreciated the author's goal of simplifying complex topics and while I may not have agreed with every point presented, the book served to expand my understanding of contemporary geopolitics.I feel like my conversations when it comes to great powers will be more informed.
Great read that invokes critical thinking Many of the crucial issues meticulously detailed in the book are overlooked by mainstream news outlets. This book gives a high-level analysis regarding the nation's challenges and the direction we are heading in the future. I find myself particularly aligned with the book's depiction of the domestic hurdles we encounter, wherein America's moral fabric and our connections with neighboring nations have noticeably frayed. I strongly agree that as a nation, in order to move forward , we need to accept and identify issues that we are currently facing.
Must read This book is an important read ifone wishes to understand the clear danger of China and its unrelenting gain of influence in Africa, South America, etc. All to the detriment of the US and our allies.It also brings to bear a painful, but true, look at our present internal problems which are reaching a point of no return.Certainly, a book well researched and written.
Learned A Lot! Clearly as stated in the headline, since so much of the issues properly outlined in the book you won't hear in the "news". It was written so the average person could understand how America is affected. I specially agree with the domestic problems we face, America's morals and our neighbors are gone. América abandonó a Latinoamérica en su desarollo, y solo podemos lamenter la tristeza que esto genera. This book is genius!
