Donald Przebowski: The Rise And Fall of the United States: An Interpretation of History.
Here is a brief bio of author Donald Przebowski:
"Donald Przebowski was raised on Long Island, St. James, New York. He served in the U.S. Army in Munich, Germany. He graduated from Dowling College with a B.A. in English, and a Degree in Computer Programming and Systems. He was employed by Fairchild Republic on Long Island for twenty-two years, moved to Virginia, and became a subcontractor to NASA for seven years. Aristotle's philosophy of reason provided him with a political philosophy, and the intellectual basis from which to understand history and interpret the world. Writers as Victor Hugo, Dostoevsky, and Alfred Lord Tennyson inspired him to write novels. He is the author of Aryan, the Last Prussian, a story of a Prussian family during World War II; Over the Rainbow, a story of an Irish Priest who is sent to Cambodia during the reign of Pol Pot, the Cambodian barbarian; and Heroic Hearts, a story concerning four fledgling surgeons during World War II."

"A man, as a nation, has his moments of glory; his moments of depression. It is during an hour of danger that one reveals one's personal character, it is during a national crisis that a nation reveals its national character, what it stands for when standing for its principles is most difficult. It is our historical moment of depression. The discerning eye sees the symptoms of decay in every part of our culture: the attacks on our Constitution and traditions, the intellectual and moral elitism claimed by politicians, political pundits and the elite media, the arts that distort the beauty of life, the literature that insults literary standards and heroics, and the privileged politicians who rise to power in the Executive, Senate, and the House of Representatives in Washington D.C. dedicated to their own self-interests.
To Polybius, a democracy evolved into an oligarchy, an oligarchy evolved into tyranny, tyranny evolved into chaos, and inevitably led the nation-state to its final collapse. With the spiritual permission of Polybius, I humbly submit that the evolutionary cycle for the United States is defined by individualism, including its natural allies of freedom, self-reliance, and self-interest, by democracy, by oligarchy, including its natural ally of collectivism, and finally by tyranny and collapse. It is a disturbing observation that each generation appears to be less moral, less disciplined and less self-reliant than its predecessor, shuns individual responsibility, and is more dependent upon the federal government, but it is that uncomfortable observation that confirms the decaying phase of our nation."
