An intelligent book that looks at trends in globalization, modernization of developing countries, and what it all means to the United States. Zakaria is clearly adept at gathering, processing, and synthesizing vast and seemingly unrelated bodies of information about a subject. I guess that is what... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

This book truly broke my heart. I believed that the United States was the shining beacon on the hill, a light for all to see and aspire to. I learned that we are not.

I ordered this book for my husband for Christmas and was pleased it arrived in a timely manner.
I'm disappointed that the 1st part of the book can only be read by a magnifying glass, (though I understand that's the type the papers were using at the time )
My husband loves the book so... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

I think it's too optimistic for today's world. I mean, geez, how long ago was this written? So far, things aren't getting better like he seemed to think they would. It's all good for India but sucks for the U.S. Except he acts like it's good for all of us. | 4.0 / 5.0

I was on board with this book (in audio form) initially, then they got into meat, and were really zealots about it!

I think that Sarah Vowell's writing is creative, witting and fascinating. Up until now, I have enjoyed everything written by Sarah Vowell and always look forward to her new books. But I wasn't quite as enthralled with The Wordy Shipmates. Maybe it's me, but I just couldn't get myself as stirred up... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
