What is "embarrassing" about getting angry about a crass abuse of your country? I would be embarrassed if I were not willing to stand up and be heard.
I find your actions hard to understand-- you use words like paint elsewhere, but on this topic you take the can, slam it against the ground and jump in the puddle. It's clear you disagree, but beyond "nuh-uh!" and insults, it really isn't much.
When someone attacks my country or something I believe in, I stand up-- and I take their attack, slice it, parse it, destroy it; if I can't do it myself, I find someone who can and make dang sure it gets spread around.
If there has been an actual slander on your country, take the words and show how they're wrong; the purpose of the book is to sway-- if it offends you so deeply, then counter it.
Go borrow the book, take his arguments and disembowel them; you'll feel better, and the folks who admire your skill will have something to read that doesn't make them blush.
