The Rise and Fall of the United States

This is my fourth literary work. The fi rst 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

nations 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 fi nal 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 fi nal collapse.
