Description
In "Uncouth Nation," Andrei Markovits provides deep insights into anti-Americanism in Europe today and delves into many of the facets that make the American-European relationship so unique. This book should be read and discussed!"--Joschka Fischer, former Foreign Minister of Germany; and Professor, Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University "Anti-Americanism is as old as the Republic--a historical constant, which is only remotely related to specific American behavior.

In "Uncouth Nation" he has written a near-masterpiece. On page after page, Markovits convincingly demonstrates the all-consuming nature of European anti-Americanism.
