In this book Dr. Tomislav Sunic describes the origins and dynamics of America's founding myths. Quoting and translating from many long-forgotten or suppressed sources from the fields of literature, history, anthropology and philosophy, the book represents an interdisciplinary compendium dealing with the topic of Americanism. The genealogy of early Calvinist Puritanism mixed with the techno-scientific religion of boundless economic progress and legally veiled in the obscure para-Biblical and Jewish-inspired sense of political self-chosenness, created a system that has little in common with its original design. Postmodern Americanism, with its abstract theories of multiculturalism and its global desire for world improvement, turned America into a menacing and self-destructive continent that puts not only the survival of America's European heritage at risk, but threatens the heritage of other peoples worldwide as well.

After summarizing the Jewish problem in the foreword to Tomislav Sunic's Homo Americanus, Kevin MacDonald wrote: "But the other side of the equation must also be examined--the traits that predispose Westerners to willingly accept their own oblivion as a moral necessity. Here Sunic emphasizes the heritage of Christian universalism and, especially, in the case of America, the heritage of Puritan moralism. [page xxxiii]"However, with the exception of the blogsite Occidental Dissent, owned by a US Southern nationalist, who in the white nationalist scene has focused on this "Puritan problem," the other side of the equation? For most nationalists it is unthinkable that the primary cause of our woes is White pathology--Judeo-Christianity and its secular version of egalitarianism--, not the Jewish problem, which according to Sunic is only a secondary infection (exactly in the sense that the Muslim problem in Europe is a secondary infection of our pathologies).
If we quote extensively from some chapters of Homo americanus:: Child of the Postmodern Age the reasons why the Croatian intellectual reached the above conclusions can be deciphered.

Homo americanus Child of the Postmodern Age edition by Tomislav Sunic Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
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. Students and activists seeking an encounter with a sound revisionist history of America's roots, will be poorly served by the anti-Puritan diatribe in "Homo Americanus."
However, with these points in mind, it should also be noted that Dr. Sunic's book contains a valuable critique of the cultural elites that gnaw at the American body politic, a critique worthy of serious consideration in the evolving debate over American nationalism, territorial integrity and destiny. In surveying the contemporary American scene, Sunic offers a credible challenge to the subversion wrought by neo-con conservatism and predatory capitalism in the 21st century. It is only when he attempts to analyze America's theocratic history in previous centuries, that he stumbles.
We live in such an oppressive climate with regards to freedom of speech - a topic handled extensively through this book - that the mere fact that such a book came to light makes it worth 3 stars.
This book would benefit from a thorough review. Not only ideas are repeated, but also big excerpts appear more than once. The topics could be more seamlessly connected, too. Thoughts are developed, sometimes he "walks" in circles, and moves on to the next point.
As to the content, the book offers a sharp but sound critic of the US. It wisely avoids common places and does an overall good job. If you are acquainted with some modern works from Conservative writers on contemporary America, this book won't a big host of new ideas. Except for one, and that is where if fails.
In Sunic's view, America's biblical roots - as he put it - have determined US relations to Israel. While not neglecting the importance of the Jewish Lobby amid other things, this explanation is too simplistic . Christianity, over the course of its history, has offered a panoply of options, and the path taken towards Israel is one them, not the only possible one.
The Imperial present explained through Christianity makes much more sense though. It is the old Christian perception that its world view is the one. It was in the core of its project in Asia, South America and Africa when the first missionaries set out with the goal of converting the world. It is now, in a secular version, in the inability of the so-called west to see and understand Russia as the other. America, better than everyone, represents this misconception of the world, as Sunic points it very well.
Sunic criticizes the project of a white empire (Lisbon-Moscow, Paris-London) proposed by some conservatives as delusional with any foundation on reality. It prompted me to remind the book New Culture, New Right from O'Meara.
While I agree with Sunic on that, that racial divisions he proposes as the basis for a possible are founded on nothing more than a nostalgia to revive the past days of the National State as it was in the 19th Century.
His critique of the modern egalitarianism is well founded, however, his suggestions have no longer currency in modern politics nor are any likely to have.
What would he suggest after taking power the displacement of all the population that doesn't fit the old nationalistic narrative of that country ? As in the other book I mentioned, in Sunic's world, once several races have biologically mixed, there is no way back for the world and we are doomed.
This idea is not cogent.
After summarizing the Jewish problem in the foreword to Tomislav Sunic's Homo Americanus, Kevin MacDonald wrote "But the other side of the equation must also be examined--the traits that predispose Westerners to willingly accept their own oblivion as a moral necessity. Here Sunic emphasizes the heritage of Christian universalism and, especially, in the case of America, the heritage of Puritan moralism. [page xxxiii]"
