Overview
āA hopeful message for our troubled times . . . Michael Medved has an eye for a story, and a preternatural gift for telling it in beguiling ways.āāJoseph J. Ellis, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Awardāwinning author of Founding Brothers
Has God withdrawn his special blessing from the United States? Americans ponder that painful question in troubled times, as we did during the devastation of the Civil War and after the assassinations of the ā60s, and as we do in our present polarization. Yet somehowāon battlefields, across western wilderness, and in raucous convention hallsāastounding events have reliably advanced America, restoring faith in the Republicās providential protection. Ā
In this provocative historical narrative, Michael Medved brings to life ten haunting tales that reveal this purposeful pattern, including:
ā¢ A near-fatal carriage accident forces Lincolnās secretary of state into a canvas-and-steel neck brace that protects him from a would-be assassinās knife thrusts, allowing him two years later to acquire Alaska for the United States.
ā¢ A sudden tidal wave of Russian Jewish immigration, beĀginning in 1881, coincides with Americaās rise to world leadership, fulfilling a biblical promise that those blessĀing Abrahamās children will themselves be blessed.
ā¢ Campaigning for president, Theodore Roosevelt takes a bullet in the chest, but a folded speech in his jacket pocket slows its progress and saves his life.
ā¢ At the Battle of Midway, U.S. planes get lost over empty ocean and then miraculously reconnect for five minutes of dive-bombing that wrecks Japanās fleet, convincing even enemy commanders that higher powers intervened against them.
ā¢ A behind-the-scenes āconspiracy of the pure of heartā by Democratic leaders forces a gravely ill FDR to replace his sitting vice presidentāan unstable Stalinistāwith future White House great Harry Truman.
These and other little-known stories build on themes of The American Miracle, Medvedās bestseller about Americaās remarkable rise. The confident heroes and stubborn misfits in these pages shared a common faith in a master plan, which continues to unfold in our time. Godās Hand on America conĀfirms that the founders were right about Americaās destiny to lead and enlighten the world.
