In this Melbourne Writers Festival session, the impressively credentialled writers Don Watson (American Journeys), Philip Gourevitch (Standard Operating Procedure, The New Yorker) and Dennis Altman (Gore Vidal's America) provide unique perspectives on contemporary America. After their brief presentations, the panellists discuss recent US political developments, the fall-out from the War on Terror, America's strategic situation today and its status as 'leader of the free world'.
