Reviews

Asahina (writes) with a welcome degree of detachment and honesty. There is no sermonizing or breast-beating here, just clear facts. "Just Americans" is a thought- provoking book that says a great deal about the ambiguities of America's democratic legacy and the complex issues of American national identity. ("The Washington Post")

Timely, thoughtful, and meticulously researched. . . . Asahina re-creates the battles in impressively painstaking detail. ("The New York Times Book Review")
