Synopsis: First published in 1974, this work was written by conservative thinker Kirk "to assist in renewing an appreciation of America's moral and social order among the general public and among university and college students." Surveying history from the Judaic prophets to the presidency of Abraham Lincoln, he presents a story of American civilization as it arose from the Judeo-Christian traditions, Greek and Roman antiquity, the rise of English common law and the English Constitution, the writings of British political philosophers, and the attendees of the U.S. Constitutional Congress.
