Book Description:
|
Written by fictional character "Xavier de C***" as a plea to an American president, Empire 2.0 is a scorching satire of totalitarianism. In it, the hero, a Frenchman, renounces his citizenship to become an American. This breezy book argues that resistance to America's overwhelming power is futile and that to survive, Europe must allow itself to be annexed by the U.S. Debray's insights into the growing European resentment of American unilateralism could not be more timely.
