Dark Ages America, by Morris Berman reviewed: “This is the sort of book that gives the Left a bad name.

In Dark Ages America: The Final Phase of Empire, the cultural historian Morris Berman delivers a vituperative, Spenglerian screed that makes Michael Moore seem like a rah-rah American cheerleader: a screed that describes this country as ‘a cultural and emotional wasteland,’ suffering from ‘spiritual death’ and intent on exporting its false values around the world at the point of a gun; a republic-turned-empire that has entered a new Dark Age and that is on the verge of collapsing like Rome.” (New York Times )
