Description
"As anti-Americanism runs rampant throughout Europe and the Middle East, Carol Gould exposes the threat it raises and calls on Americans to defeat the trend. Don’t Tread on Me is Gould’s journey through the astonishing world of British and European anti-Americanism, from the graffiti scrawled by street urchins, to the venom spewed by the educated and intellectual classes abroad.
Gould has lived in Europe her entire adult life, and during that time she has observed an increasing degree of resentment toward Americans among colleagues, teachers, even her own circle of neighbors and friends. Yanks are spat upon and met with other forms of blatant abuse. While the War on Terror has produced a crop of Bush-haters, Gould argues that today’s anti-Americanism is not merely the result of U.S. military action or the Abu Ghraib scandal; it has deeper roots and has grown into something much larger. One element of the anti-American fever sweeping Europe and Britain is suspicion of the so-called “Zionist lobby” in the United States and a loathing of America’s support for Israel.
The resentment of America expressed in the European media, in combination with fierce Israel-bashing, have created a hostile atmosphere that makes Gould fear for her own safety in her adopted country. In Don’t Tread on Me, she examines the forces behind this disturbing epidemic, and pleads for a bit of sanity before the “special relationship” is eroded beyond repair. "
