“America – Oh Say Can You See: Oh, America Can You Really See? Trouble for America” by John E. Suraj Persad has been released worldwide. This unapologetic, deeply engaging work has achieved Amazon Bestseller status as the #1 New Release in the “State,” “State & Local Government,” and “Military Policy” categories, #1 Bestseller in the “State & Local Government” category, and #2 Bestseller in the “State” and “Miltary Policy” categories.
The book tackles the geopolitical, foreign relations, and domestic social issues facing the United States, unpacking the reasons behind the divided populace and the country’s slipping position as a global superpower. It is written with simplification and common sense in mind to give the busy reader a quick but somewhat comprehensive view of the current state of our union and spark an interest in the electorate to get engaged.
With a multifaceted approach to understanding the state of the nation, the author not only looks to the past for historical patterns but also points his analysis toward the future for the long-term results of America’s troubling trajectory.
From the failed foreign policy of “bully diplomacy” to racial division and widespread criminality to food insecurity, Persad’s broad examination looks at the interconnected social and political ideologies – as well as the actions they drive – that are actively threatening the stability and success of the United States.
With a multicultural background, graduate-level education in International Policy and Transnational Security, coupled with experience in Strategic Leadership, overseas military deployment, and extensive international travel, the author’s experiences across cultures and professional arenas provide him with a unique, nuanced perspective on topics that other sociopolitical thinkers tend to shy away from. The book shows how America’s downward spiral contributes directly to the consolidation of power in China and Russia and how failures in national leadership have led American allies to seek support from other global leaders.
Serving as a warning and wake-up call to Americans of all ethnicity, Persad’s writing prompts the electorate to become more involved in the democratic process while encouraging critical thinking and international awareness. By exposing the numerous flaws in the fabric of American policy, analyzing the troubles causing division and distrust across the population, and shedding light on the country’s floundering position in the geopolitical landscape, the author raises the alarm for much-needed social and political change.
This eye-opening call to action goes beyond educating readers about the nation’s troubling realities to generate a deep understanding of the factors at play – who is responsible – and how to get engaged.
