Review Quotes: "Exceptional State captures the cultural affirmation, and attendant psychological and sociological ramifications of US imperialism. These essays analyse the subtle and more overt ways the tentacles of hegemony permeate the lives of people all around the world. . . . Exceptional State really is essential reading for anyone who fancies themselves as an enjoyer of freedom and democracy. Get it while you can!"--Megan Yarrow, M/C Reviews
