After America

Get Ready for Armageddon

De: Mark Steyn

Narrado por: Mark Steyn

Optimistic about America's future? Don't be. In his New York Times best seller, America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, Mark Steyn predicted collapse for the rest of the Western world. In After America Steyn asserts that the United States, like Europe, is on the great rush to self-destruction. It's not just one cause—such as financial collapse, citizens who think the government will solve every problem, or America's eclipse as a world power—no, it's all this and more that spells one word for the United States: Armageddon.

With his trademark wit, Steyn delivers the depressing news with raw and unblinking honesty—but also with the touch of vaudeville stand-up and soft shoe that make him the most entertaining, yet profound, columnist on the planet. And as an immigrant with nowhere else to go, he offers his own prescription for winning America back from the feckless and arrogant liberal establishment that has done its level best to suffocate the world's last best hope in a miasma of debt, decay, and debility. You will not read a more important—or more alarming, or even funnier—book all year than After America.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Mark Steyn is a modern day Jeremiah with a quiverful of devastating one-liners, nailing what the liberals have done to our country. He presents an alarming—and frighteningly convincing—prophecy of where we’re headed. The choice is stark—we either listen to Steyn and act on his recommendations or face economic and cultural armageddon.” (Mark Levin)

“Mark Steyn has done it again. In his new book, After America, he clearly defines the dangerous signals which show America is embracing the same doomed path as the failed European economies, and how vital it is to implement and avoid policies right now to prevent us from the same fate.” (Sean Hannity)

“Only Mark Steyn can write about the decline of America and leave you laughing.” (Ann Coulter)

Entertaining look at the ugly future of the West

Really enjoyed this scary look at the present and future of the Western world. Steyn covers the self-destructive behavior of the West and the rise of its enemies, and reads his material with a cheerful sunniness that contrasts with his vision.

FANTASTIC!

What made the experience of listening to After America the most enjoyable?

Mark Steyn is a genius and listening to him is pure pleasure. His depth of knowledge of world affairs and the interlocks that bind them all together is daunting. I will need to listen to the whole book at least one more time to absorb all the info that he presents. His narration is superior and I hated switching off my MP3, it was overwhelming, terrifying, hilarious, deeply troubling, but very necessary and you owe it to yourself to hear what this remarkable dude has to say.

Story about America after it has left

A quick view of America aafter all the people right was sew down the drain.

Mark Steyn Delivers

This is a great book. Steyn is well read and very thoughtful. He presents his case throughly, and he backs up his predictions with examples from current events and history. His sense of humor keeps this book entertaining.

I love this guy!

Gripping...entertaining...disturbing.

I put Steyn in the same column as Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, and other deeply conservative thinkers and compelling communicators.

Steyn brings a well-traveled, common sense perspective to the subject of America's decline. He is obviously an avid student of history, geography, demography, politics, etc. Yet, he offers a nonacademic sense of our nation's trajectory.

You can choose to pass on this book, yet none of us can pass on the inevitable collapse of the modern welfare state.

Finally, Steyn, himself, narrates this book in his very engaging style. I really like his radio voice, and I love his narrative voice. I only wish he also narrated America Alone.
