God In The Trenches

Larkin Spivey believes that God is on America's side, backing up his thesis with historical evidence: a phantom attack that caused George Washington to win a decisive battle; "random" events in the Pacific that gave a small American fleet victory; and a U-2 spy plane and the dead pilot that saved the world from a nuclear holocaust. Putting forth the idea that God's providential hand intervened at critical junctures during America's wars-and that Freedom is important to the Almighty-Spivey shows how miraculous events kept fate going America's way. Miracles or mysteries, Spivey does not doubt that history has been swayed many times by a hidden hand, but will providence help America once again?
