Josef Joffe quotes:

Defying History and Theory: The United States as the 'Last Remaining Superpower,'

Anti-Americanism is as old as the Republic--a historical constant, which is only remotely related to specific American behavior. So what is new? Andrei Markovits has delivered the best answer yet, ranging across an astounding wealth of material from politics and culture. Uncouth Nation is a rare academic treat. Rigorous and analytical, the book is also a pleasure to read as it penetrates a critical issue of our time.

There's an old American saying that says you can't beat somebody with nobody.
