Well written and entertaining! OH, SAY CAN YOU SEE “AMERICA”: OH, AMERICA, CAN YOU REALLY SEE? “TROUBLE AHEAD FOR AMERICA” is a book discussing the challenges of the nation and what direction it's heading towards. Plenty of topics to discussed and some you will agree with and some you won't. Either way, it makes you really think about everything and how we got to this point.

An examination of the place America occupies in a fast changing global landscape. A volume covering the American influence on the global stage and the internal issues facing the country. A large proportion of the book is based on the threat to the US global hegemony by the resurgence of a strong China, along with an examination of the current internal conflicts in the nation. This is a book with a definite conservative political bias, and as such, whilst being an in depth examination of the factors mentioned, is also a flawed work which refuses to see clearly the dysfunction in the American view of itself, maintaining as it does that America's global influence is led by the desire to promote democracy and freedom despite the obvious evidence to the contrary.

Great read that invokes critical thinking Many of the crucial issues meticulously detailed in the book are overlooked by mainstream news outlets.

I find myself particularly aligned with the book's depiction of the domestic hurdles we encounter, wherein America's moral fabric and our connections with neighboring nations have noticeably frayed. I strongly agree that as a nation, in order to move forward , we need to accept and identify issues that we are currently facing.

Must read This book is an important read ifone wishes to understand the clear danger of China and its unrelenting gain of influence in Africa, South America, etc. All to the detriment of the US and our allies.It also brings to bear a painful, but true, look at our present internal problems which are reaching a point of no return.Certainly, a book well researched and written.

Very Informative This book is well-structured, with extensive supporting research to explain the issues currently faced by America locally, intentionally and in the geopolitical space.The book strategically discusses America losing ground in its position as a dominant global power, and explains the current and future challenges faced by America in this regard. It also highlights the interesting dynamics added by the positioning of other large players in the international space, such as China.Overall, the book is an eye-opener and is very informative. Well done John.

Learned A Lot! Clearly as stated in the headline, since so much of the issues properly outlined in the book you won't hear in the "news". It was written so the average person could understand how America is affected. I specially agree with the domestic problems we face, America's morals and our neighbors are gone. América abandonó a Latinoamérica en su desarollo, y solo podemos lamenter la tristeza que esto genera. This book is genius!

Great premise! I would like to start by saying that unfortunately, I liked the amazing and eye-catching cover of this book more than the content itself, and I’ll explain why this happened to me. Although the premise of the book is absolutely interesting and current, I think the vocabulary chosen is too technical and specific. It’s worth mentioning the work of the author who, even though the subject is a bit difficult to explain, makes it bearable for any type of reader, and despite the terminology, I managed to understand and connect the ideas he expresses.It’s admirable that the book encourages readers to pose challenging queries, participate in diverse discussions, and gather knowledge from many sources.

The big issues America faces now John Persad has brilliantly laid out the very serious issues facing America today. Although he does write about the social issues and the different opinions we Americans are dealing with daily, his emphasis is on foreign affairs and the looming dangers on the horizon concerning China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea should be required reading for all Americans, and particularly for those holding elected office. His well researched facts are inarguable if we can only set aside our biases while reading the book.
