I sin nye bok analyserer professor Ole o. Moen usa slik verdens eneste supermakt nå fremstår under president Barack Hussein Obama - både I lys av vår samtid og usas særegne historiske tradisjoner. Presidentvalget I 28 var på flere vis begynnelsen på et nytt kapittel I usas moderne historie. Moen beskriver de nye trekk som nå avtegner seg I den politiske og kulturelle hverdag. Denne boken forteller historien om dette landet I en ny og annerledes tidsalder. Det er sterke bånd som knytter norge til usa. En naturlig konsekvens av dette er at de fleste nordmenn mener seg å kjenne usa. Onkel sam er en gammel kjenning, men vår generelle innsikt I amerikansk kultur og politikk er relativt overflatisk. Denne boken er et bidrag til en bedre forståelse av dagens amerikanske samfunn.
