Readers' quotes:

"Every politician and newspaper man in Britain should read Siren Society. Frankly, I was stunned, entertained, angered even, reading it. Huge thanks" BILL BENTALL, Hertfordshire

"I started reading 'Siren Society' in my nightie and found it so engrosing I couldn't put it down. I would have finished it there and then but had some relatives coming so reluctantly had to stop" JANE LARSEN, Cornwall

Siren Society explores the paradox that is America, drawing on the historical background and interweaving author Cedric Pulford’s experiences as a “green card” immigrant. The book shows that the United States’ itch to intervene in other countries is nothing new. Including domestic operations, the military has averaged at least one intervention a year since 1890 - while extravagant American consumption has been commented upon from the start.

“If the United States is to become the good global citizen that most Americans apparently want it to be, it will have to unlearn many of the habits not just of the past half-century but also of its previous national existence,” says Siren Society.

Meanwhile, Tony Blair like previous British prime ministers stands four-square behind the USA. Siren Society addresses one of the enduring mysteries of international politics - why an ever-accommodating Britain is happy to act the poodle to America. It appeals to the country to wake up and play the independent role its world stature demands.

Author Cedric Pulford is a Briton who worked his way through university during the Vietnam period while he was a journalist in the American Midwest. He writes with the authority of someone who has seen America from the inside.
