Under The Star Spangled Banner: A History of The United States of America

By Meredith Gilbert

My earlier book, Prism, tells the stories of the people and places of the Old World, their struggles and their mistakes. The United States, a new nation, only two hundred and forty years old, a nation home to about five percent of the world's population, learned from those mistakes and became the dream, the ideal, for millions The world's oldest still functioning Constitution - a democracy that is really a democracy and a republic that is really a republic A model of human rights and religious freedom, with a government and a press to protect them A blend of immigrants of many cultural and ethnic groups who have enriched the nation with their ideas and contributions A world leader in innovation and technology A prosperous economy; no one is trapped in the social class in which they were born if they want badly enough to rise out of it A generous and compassionate people who have rescued suffering people all over the world This book is the story of a miracle. Enjoy.
