How can the West rediscover its authentic spirit? Exploring the
period from 1899 to 1945 – from the end of the US frontier and
the writing of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to the conclusion of
World War II and the dropping of the atom bomb – Luigi Morelli
traces the events that led the United States to become the
world’s dominating imperial force. America, he demonstrates, is
deeply connected to Britain, Germany and Eastern Europe,
particularly Russia. Yet despite their tragic collective histories,
there is hope for the future – if only America can claim its true
task. --- Searching for the Spirit of the West challenges many of
the falsehoods that pass for mainstream history. Utilizing a wealth
of documented evidence from the research of overlooked historians,
economists, social and spiritual thinkers, the author takes a
symptomatic view of the past, revealing hidden, longer-term trends.
This approach offers a new understanding of events such as the rise
of Nazism, the Great Depression, the new Deal, and even the roles
of banking and clandestine ‘brotherhoods’ in world history.
Morelli also appraises The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in parallel with
America’s cultural achievements. Through imagination, L. Frank
Baum’s contemporary fairy-tale enables us to intuit the true
mission of the West and its potential contribution to world
culture, now and in the future.
