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 worlds 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 Americas cultural achievements. Through imagination, L. Frank Baums 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.
