What's So Great About America

Bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza takes on all of America's critics and proves them wrong — as perhaps only a writer with an immigrant's understanding of this country can. He defends not an idealized America, but America as it really is, and measures America not against utopia, but against the rest of the world in a provocative, challenging book.
