    What's So Great About America isn't a question—it's a statement. From the unique perspective that perhaps only an immigrant can have, Dinesh D'Souza says that America is a land of opportunity and freedom. A leading conservative thinker, D'Souza trumpets the science, democracy, and capitalism that he believes have led the West to global supremacy. Along the way, he spares no opportunity to bash those who he thinks have "denigrated" America and trivialized its freedom: multiculturalists, feminists, hippies, and vegetarians. As an "outsider" from India who has had amazing success in the United States, D'Souza defends not an idealized America, but America as it really is.
