Принято считать, что США выдают себя за мировой оплот гражданских свобод, тем самым присваивая право «экспортировать» собственный тип демократии в другие страны. Что же представляет собой американская демократия на самом деле и можно ли вообще называть этот режим демократией?

Майкл Паренти — профессор политологии и гражданин США. В своей книге он дает нелицеприятную оценку господствующему в Америке политическому строю, который он метко характеризует как «демократию для избранных». Автор обличает лицемерие официальной идеологии США, выдающей власть привилегированного меньшинства за служение народу, и выдвигает американскому правительству впечатляющий список обвинений в нарушении прав человека. Его книга открывает для читателя совершенно другую Америку.
