{"product_id":"imperial-america-gore-vidal-9781560257448","title":"Imperial America: Reflections on the United States of Amnesia","description":"Gore Vidal has been described as the last 'noble defender\" of the American republic. In Imperial America, Vidal steals the thunder of a right wing America -- those who have camouflaged their extremist rhetoric in the Old Glory and the Red, White, and Blue -- by demonstrating that those whose protest arbitrary and secret government, those who defend the bill of rights, those who seek to restrain America's international power, are the true patriots. \"Those Americans who refuse to plunge blindly into the maelstrom of European and Asiatic politics are not defeatist or neurotic,\" he writes. \"They are giving evidence of sanity, not cowardice, of adult thinking as distinguished from infantilism. They intend to preserve and defend the Republic. America is not to be Rome or Britain. It is to be America.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gore Vidal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 156025744X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781560257448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bold Type Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/17\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2005 pg. 105","brand":"Gore Vidal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991602692351,"sku":"9781560257448","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c1b27d0-6293-4e8d-854e-0ee65e8278a9.jpg?v=1683311207","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/imperial-america-gore-vidal-9781560257448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
