Rise and Fall of the United States

My Fourth Literary Work

The first novel, Aryan, the Last Prussian, examined man, war, and society; the second novel, Over the Rainbow, was concerned with man and tyranny; and the third novel, Heroic Hearts, focused on doctors in World War II.

This historical work examines the rise and fall of nations, the fundamental values upon which each nation was erected, and the reasons for each nation's collapse. The Greek historian Polybius proposed that each nation experienced an evolutionary cycle: democracy, oligarchy, dictatorship, tyranny, and collapse. For the United States, that evolutionary cycle is: individualism, democracy, oligarchy, tyranny, and collapse.

The United States is experiencing its final phase: tyranny. Its survival depends upon the strength of the fundamental values upon which the nation was erected: individualism, self-reliance, and self-interest. This work will demonstrate that the fall of the U.S. is inevitable, and I have selected from history those ideas and events that will lead to its final collapse.
