Intriguing and well supported premise: That great powers rise and fall in direct relation to their tolerance or intolerance, i.e. the most tolerant power attracts the best and brightest from other cultures, religions, nations etc enabling them to join and contribute to the rise of the great power. Extrapolates this out to America’s past and future. The kind of book that gives you a great insight into historical processes that otherwise seemed random.
