Sommario/riassunto

Religious fundamentalism is a powerful force not only in American domestic politics but also in the way America acts abroad. In For God?s Sake Lee Marsden investigates the way that the Christian Right have influenced US foreign policy, arguing that this influence will continue to fuel hostility against the country for many years to come.
