Review Quotes
A timely, bold, and elegantly written exploration of American exceptionalism in its many incarnations, The Right to Rule is a plea for a realistic approach to a changing world order unbound from the nationrsquo;s belief in its providential purpose.
The Right to Rule is a rich and learned examination of American identity in all of its varied, evolving, and contradictory forms. Americans today are asking #39;Who are we? How did we get here?#39; For answers, they would do well to start with Hugh De Santis#39;s enthralling account.
Vastly erudite, well-documented, and wide-ranging, Hugh De Santisrsquo;s book is, he writes, lsquo;ultimatelyhellip; a provocation.rsquo; After a tour of other empires in world history, he tracks lsquo;the myth of American exceptionalismrsquo; and its shifting shape through the entire course of the American past, from Winthroprsquo;s lsquo;city on a hillrsquo; to Trump. Will the idea lead, or mislead, the country into a future multipolar world? Read this book for a reasoned answer.
