Predicting the unthinkable, anticipating the impossible: from the fall of the Berlin Wall to America in the new century

Drawing on her own newspaper columns, published between 1982-2010, the author reflects on the fate of the United States since the end of the Cold War.

Arguing that the country was already in decline in the 1990s, she exposes the decline in national wealth, the costs of 'small' wars & the vulgarization of domestic culture.
