What does the environmental movement want in world politics? Why are the Royal families of Europe so involved in Green politics? These questions and more are answered in this in depth historical analysis by conservative author Thomas Purcell ('Conservative Issues From the Desert'). The European monarchies ruled the world for more than a thousand years and despite the rise of capitalism and America in the late 18th century, they are poised to rise again to power by forcing America into a modern day feudalistic economy. How that will happen, and the role of the Progressive movement in that rise is summarized in this non-fiction book.

In June of 2011, Action Comics (DC) released Superman #900, in which Superman renounces his American citizenship to be a member of a 'global' community. In doing so, Superman forgot the reasons why truth, justice and "The American Way" are actually the most important things that he represents. Superman has been an icon for adult and kids alike for over 70 years, -- how the character views the world as well as American values is a part of the makeup of our national history. "The American Way: Why Superman Got It Wrong" written by author Thomas Purcell, describes in detail how American Exceptionalism was a hard won process; and not something we were born with in our blood or our DNA. The path from a small group of stalwart farmers fleeing the tyranny of religious oppression and heavy taxation to that of the most powerful and wealthy nation in the history of mankind was remarkably swift compared to the previous civilizations of Rome, Egypt, and the European great powers of Edwardian England and Napoleonic France. How America got there is a matter of historical record, but today the world is seeking America to be more like them-- socialized and stagnant with planned economies and limited freedoms. Through Progressive politics America is being transformed into the nations that they sought to leave behind over 200 years ago. By extending its entitlement programs, reinventing its national heritage and bastions of capitalistic pride and power, America is slowly being weakened from within in order to bring America to its knees and down to the level of leftist regimes around the world, corrupt and with limited freedoms. Author Thomas Purcell explores the reason why in "The American Way" that the reverse should be true-- that the rest of the world should be striving to be more like America, not the other way around. He explains pivotal points in American history when the American people stood fast to their heritage of self sufficiency, rugged individualism and self-reliance and as a result were stronger for it. Although Kal-El the Kryptonian Superman may have forgotten his childhood roots, "The American Way" explains why Clark Kent, a farmer from Smallville never would have abandoned the Midwest ethics that had served him so well as a emblem of "The American Way" to the rest of the world.
