Description

"Many Americans know in their heart of hearts that something has gone wrong in America's relations with the world. But they don't quite know why. Or what triggered this. Beyond the Age of Innocence explains the complex story of America and the world, and the seismic shifts that have taken place, unnoticed by many Americans." "Kishore Mahbubani is an old friend of America. Growing up in Singapore, on the other side of the world, his life has been powerfully influenced by the American era. In this book, he sets out to explain both the global enchantment and disenchantment with America and what America can still do to save the situation."--Jacket.

First Sentence
