Homo Americanus: Tom Sunic’s Tour De Force of A Treatise

By Patrick Grimm

One of the best authors I have discovered recently would have to be Dr. Tomislav Sunic. Who is Tom Sunic and why do I praise his writing? Allow me to quote from his book jacket as an introduction to this heavyweight in the intellectual sparring match for our heritage and freedom:

“Tomislav (Tom) Sunic is a former U.S. professor, author, translator and a former Croatian diplomat. Mr. Sunic obtained his doctorate in political science at the University of California. In this book he attempts to explain how the postmodern liberal elites justify their system and their intellectual repression against heretics. Mr. Sunic has already published books, scholarly and newspaper articles in French, German, English and Croatian on subjects of cultural pessimism and the use and misuse of modern language by proponents of communist and liberal ideology.”
