Non-Fiction Political
From America's premier political analyst, an explosive
examination of the axis of religion, politics, and borrowed
money that threatens to destroy the nation
In
his two most recent New York Times bestselling books,
American Dynasty and Wealth and Democracy,
Kevin Phillips established himself as a powerful critic of
the political and economic forces that are ruling--and
imperiling--the United States. Now, Phillips takes an
uncompromising view of the political coalition, led by
radical religion, that is driving America to the brink of
disaster.
From Ancient Rome to the British Empire,
Phillips demonstrates that every world-dominating power has
been brought down by a related set of causes: a lethal
combination of global over-reach, militant religion,
resource problems, and ballooning debt. It is this same axis
of ills that has come to define America's political and
economic identity in the past decade. Military
miscalculations in the Middle East, the surge of
fundamentalist religion, the staggering national debt, the
costs of U.S. oil dependence--together these factors are
undermining our nation's security, solvency, and standing
in the world. If left unchecked, the same forces will bring
a debt-bloated, preachy, energy-starved America to its
knees. With an eye on the past and a searing vision of the
future, Phillips has written a book that no American can
afford to ignore.
