From the dawn of man to the Biden Presidency, the book begins with an abridged version of the contributions of ancient cultures that led to the rise of Europe and the settlement of America.

Recent presidencies are detailed and the book ends on an ominous note, identifying the main threats to the survival of a democratic America.
