I saw an interview on PBS with author, Andrew Bacevich. He was discussing his book, "The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism." Some of what he said sounded so interesting, especially on the inability of our government to deal with current problems, I ordered the book. Has anyone read it?

I haven't read it, but American exceptionalism was coined by Alexis de Tocqueville.
