“For far too long, U.S. policymakers have relied on a faulty, dangerous premise: We only have to convince the rest of the world of our righteousness to dispel the growing, anti-American tide that has swept across the Arab and Muslim worlds since 2001. In his insightful, captivating and informative book, Jim Sciutto, a veteran reporter in the Middle East, shows how misguided that notion is. To much of the rest of the world, particularly the Middle East, American foreign policy appears singularly imperial. . . . Sciutto’s book is essential reading.”—Anthony Shadid, Middle East correspondent, Washington Post
“Jim Sciutto begins Against Us with his discovery that some of those who hate America live literally down his street. He goes on to find similar sentiments in a discomforting—even frightening—number of places. Against Us is a solid job of reporting, a personal journey of discovery, and a wakeup call for all who read it.”—Charles Gibson, ABC News
“Although he paints a sobering picture, Sciutto offers hope for Americans seeking amicable relationships with Muslims . . . Much-needed light on dark geopolitical realities.”—Booklist
“Sciutto weaves together interviews with historical background, poll data and personal experience in this consistently informative and captivating account. The author makes a few amorphous foreign policy recommendations on the basis of his research, but the book is less interesting for what it reveals about American policy than for its empathetic and candid depiction of its subjects and their lives.”—Publishers Weekly
