Synopsis

""If America Fail: Our National Mission And Our Possible Future"" is a book written by Samuel Zane Batten in 1922. The author explores the idea of American exceptionalism and the responsibility of the United States to uphold its national mission. Batten argues that if America were to fail in its mission, it would have dire consequences not only for the country but for the world as a whole. The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the national mission of America and its historical roots. Batten argues that the United States has a unique role to play in the world and that its mission is to spread democracy, freedom, and justice. The second part of the book examines the challenges that America faces in fulfilling its mission, including economic, political, and social issues. The final part of the book looks at the possible future of America and what could happen if the country fails to fulfill its mission.Overall, ""If America Fail"" is a thought-provoking book that explores the idea of American exceptionalism and the role that the United States plays in the world. Batten's arguments are still relevant today, and the book provides valuable insights into the challenges that America faces in the 21st century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In every age, as Carlyle suggests, there is some one people that enshrines the largest mass of living interests for humanity as a whole. Men of every race might readily accept this estimate provided they were allowed to name this people. In our time several peoples, each possessing striking characteristics, are playing a fateful part in the drama of universal history. Not for a moment do we mean to ignore the worth or significance of any of these. Most fully do we believe that there is a God of history who calls nations to great historic tasks. The fact that one nation has historic significance and a divine calling, does not imply that it alone has value in universal history and that other peoples carry no values for the world. In truth it implies the direct opposite. Not in any provincial spirit, therefore, but with a profound reverence for the qualities and values of the various races, do we claim that in many respects one of the most outstanding peoples in our age is that branch of the A nglo-S axon race bearing the name A merican. For this age America enshrines the largest mass of living interests entrusted to any one nation.
