5.0 out of 5 starsNew breed of human?
By S. Ludanov on April 22, 2007
Format: Paperback
I must admit beforehand that this review may be biased by the fact that I was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Sunic in person and listen to his presentation of the book. I bought the book and the next morning decided to browse through it. I could not put it away! It is very well researched and written and it is not just about modern American society, but Western liberal ideology as well. I lived in the Soviet Union under communist regime for 30 years and can easily relate to many issues that Dr. Sunic discusses in "Homo Americanus". In fact, for people who came to the United States from the former communist countries, the similarity between communist ideology and practice and western liberalism is often shocking. The main difference according Dr. Sunic is hard oppression (under communism) vs. soft oppression (in the West). While in Russia and Eastern Europe communists came to power staging bloody revolutions, raise of "Cultural Marxism" in the West was not as dramatic. That is why for many Americans, I think, the statement that Dr. Sunic made in his book that communism failed in the East, because it has succeeded in the West may sound unbelievable but it is well proved in "Homo Americanus". After all both ideologies are based on the same foundation - belief in equality. Is not it ironic that most hideous crimes against humanity were committed in the name of liberty, equality and brotherhood: Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot? French Revolution?

Author examines many different topics in the book that led to appearance of a new human creature he dubbed Homo Americanus, who is not surprisingly so similar to Homo Soveticus described by Alexander Zinoviev. I am not going to retell the book here, you just have to read it. For many it may become the eye opener, some will probably hate it, because the views expressed in the book clearly do not belong to "mainstream propaganda" and tolerating dissent is not something that is taught to us under the disguise of "tolerance".

5.0 out of 5 starsDr. Tom Sunic Knocks Out the Politically Correct Establishment with His Insightful Book, Homo Americanus (The American Man)
By Mark, the Amazon Customer on June 30, 2007
Format: Paperback
In today's politically correct world, very few authors dare to criticize what is wrong with society. Despite the First Amendment, it is often political suicide to realistically recognize what is occurring, and may even cost one's job in some cases, if not more. Dr. Tom Sunic is one of those brilliant and fearless individuals who defies the politically correct ban, and he has written an astounding book that all fans of freedom should take the time to read.

Who is Dr. Tom Sunic, you might ask? He is a man of many talents, whose credentials are impeccable. He obtained his doctorate in political science at the University of California. He is fluent in Croatian, French, and German, and has had articles published in various publications in these languages, as well as several books. He has worked as a US professor, and was also a diplomat for Croatia for some time. He is no lightweight in either the political or intellectual establishment. And yet he dares to speak the truth about the destruction of the West, and doesn't cringe when mentioning the perpetrators largely responsible for America's ongoing transition to third-world status. It should come as no surprise that America's most brilliant psychologist, Professor Kevin MacDonald, has written the foreword of Dr. Sunic's book, for Dr. Sunic is a man to be admired: He is one of those brave-hearted and brilliant souls who dares to stand up to be counted among those who recognize America's reckless nature. He unapologetically speaks the truth of where this once mighty nation is heading: on a one-way, broken roller coaster--downhill and fast.

In Dr. Sunic's most recent book, Homo Americanus, he tries to define just "who" is the American man, and what the American man believes. Dr.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsA flawed effort from a courageous, persecuted historian
By Michael Hoffman on March 16, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Dr. Tom Sunic is the scion of a persecuted people (the Croats under the Soviets) and has himself faced persecution for his revisionist views and has weathered this ordeal with courage and determination. I am reluctant to criticize someone with those credentials, but since considerations of pity have no place in historiography, I am duty bound to correct some pernicious myths he is repeating in this book for a new generation. Sunic's association of rabbinic Judaism with the Bible is a serious blunder. Orthodox Judaism nullifies the Old Testament; it is not in any way a Biblical creed.

From the fallacy of an Old Testament rabbinic Judaism, Sunic proceeds to revive the classic -but discredited- thesis that early American Puritan religion was the handmaiden to buccaneer capitalism. As a Protestant creed without a central Vatican issuing directives, Puritans reflected a diversity of theological and economic views, but the consensus of the majority was that free enterprise had to be tempered within Biblical social-justice limits. Jonathan Edwards, perhaps the single most influential American Puritan thinker, was, for example, unalterably opposed to usury and any economic system (like the our contemporary U.S. banking system) based on it.

Sunic tries to draw a link between the old Puritan commoweal of British America and the vicious imperium which fundamentalist Churchianity has fashioned in modern America today. Primary Puritan documents, including sermons, diaries, letters and manuscripts undercuts the degrading statements Sunic makes about the Puritans and their polity, and it is obvious that he has not consulted these original materials. He knows nothing of Puritan resistance to Judaism and is mainly rehashing classic ultramontane fallacies about American history.Read more ›
