Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mexico Jorge Casta eda has written a brilliant, moving, and utterly frank portrait of the USA in the world-with genuine respect, affection, and a critical but fair eye on our nation's foibles as well. A masterpiece that belongs on every diplomat's bookshelf. --Admiral James Stavridis, Former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO and Dean, Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University A brave and penetrating book full of deep insights into the self-proclaimed exceptionalism of (North) Americans, written by Mexico's most thoughtful critic (and defender). It's all here: race and religion; diversity and humor; the hypocrisy of drug and immigration policies; the middle class, education, and inequality; as well as amazing economic success, capped by a deliberately built democratic dysfunctionality. --John H. Coatsworth, Provost, Columbia University
