This book validates the adage "don't judge a book by its cover." The title - an obvious reference to Hayek's Road to Serfdom - makes this jump off the shelf, but nothing within should come as a surprise to anyone familiar with topical events and international politics. British MP Hannan romanticizes the US and provides no novel or worthwhile observations on the current state of American politics. I had high hopes for this book but was disappointed. A flood of books on this same topic should come out soon, as the argument made (America, dying superpower, Europeanizing) is rather obvious, though misguided. Ultimately not worth reading.
