Rise and Fall of the United States

This is my fourth literary work. The fi rst novel, Aryan, the Last Prussianexamined man, war and society; the second novel, Over the Rainbowwas concerned with man and tyranny; and the third novel, Heroic Heartsfocused on doctors in World War II. This historical work examines the rise and fall of nations, the fundamentalvalues upon which each nation was erected, and the reasons for eachnations collapse. The Greek historian Polybius proposed that each nationexperienced an evolutionary cycle: democracy, oligarchy, dictatorship,tyranny and collapse. For the United States that evolutionary cycle is:individualism, democracy, oligarchy, tyranny and collapse. The UnitedStates is experiencing its fi nal phase: tyranny. Its survival depends uponthe strength of the fundamental values upon which the nation was erected:individualism, self-reliance and self-interest. This work will demonstratethat the fall of the U.S. is inevitable, and I have selected from historythose ideas and events that will lead to its fi nal collapse.
