The Right Nation - Why America is Different

Welcome to the America that few outsiders understand : the land of gun rights and the death penalty, that returned George W. Bush to power, believes in minimal government and drives cars the size of tanks. Heralded as the book that predicted Bush's second election win, The Right Nation is an excoriating and entertaining account of the rise and rise of the US conservative movement. Award-winning journalists John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge brilliantly reveal what makes Middle America tick - from churchgoers in Colorado Springs to gun clubs in Massachusetts to black supporters of school vouchers in Milwaukee - and why we ignore it at our peril.
