Book Synopsis
For more than a century Friedrich Nietzsche has been a hugely popular - and surprisingly influential - figure in American high and popular culture alike. This title delves into Nietzsche's thought, and America's reception of it, to tell the story of his curious appeal.

Trade Review
"This is a superb book, widely and imaginatively researched, boldly argued, and vigorously written. The story it tells is compelling and populated by a fascinating array of characters, including almost everyone of importance in nineteenth- and twentieth-century American intellectual history: including Emerson, William James, Santayana, Mencken, and a host of lesser folk." (Jackson Lears)"
