HERE Is an account of how we
behave and an explanation of why we behave that way, written by a brilliant
British scholar who spent many years in the United States. He offers us a fresh
and objective point of view, as well as a wholly sympathetic one.
Dr. Brogan stresses the need for
understanding American attitudes toward world political and economic problems,
with a view to determining what our: relations are likely to be with other
countries and how we are likely to use our great power and influence. He discusses
our pioneer heritage, the effect of living upon a broad and rich continent with
conflicting sectional interests, the means by which unity may be fostered, the
problems of minority groups and immigration, and our educational and religious
traditions. The whole represents an intelligent estimate of the character of
our people and the significance of that character for the future of the world.
