The American Trajectory: Divine or Demonic? Audiobook (Free)

In The American Trajectory: Divine or Demonic? David Ray Griffin traces the trajectory from the American empire from its founding to the end of the twentieth hundred years. A prequel to Griffin’s Bush and Cheney, this book demonstrates with many illustrations the falsity from the claim for American exceptionalism, a secular version of the aged proven fact that America continues to be divinely founded and led.

The introduction illustrates the claims for divine providence and American exceptionalism from George about The American Trajectory: Divine or Demonic? Washington towards the publication Exceptional by Dick and Liz Cheney. After pointing out that the theory that America can be an empire is usually no more controversial, it then contrasts those who consider it harmless with those that consider it malign. The rest of the reserve supports the last mentioned viewpoint.
