"1683-1920"

A spirited, if polemical, survey of the political upheavals surrounding America’s entry into the Great War, this volume gathers together a rapid‑fire series of questions and answers that were hotly debated in the post‑war years. Drawing on speeches, legislation, and contemporary headlines, the author examines everything from the Fourteen Points and the Espionage Act to the impact of foreign propaganda in schools and the controversial treatment of German‑American communities.

The work is framed as a handbook for citizens who feel the nation’s institutions are under siege by misinformation and external influence. By juxtaposing official records with pointed commentary, it invites listeners to weigh the evidence and consider how wartime decisions reshaped public opinion, foreign policy, and the everyday lives of Americans. The tone is unapologetically patriotic, urging a re‑examination of history through a distinctly American lens.
