The national radio host and bestselling author of The American Miracle reveals the happy accidents, bizarre coincidences, and flatout miracles that continue to shape Americas destiny.A hopeful message for our troubled times . . . Michael Medved has an eye for a story, and a preternatural gift for telling it in beguiling ways.Joseph J. Ellis, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Awardwinning author of Founding BrothersHas God withdrawn his special blessing from the United States? Americans ponder that painful question in troubled times, as we did during the devastation of the Civil War and after the assassinations of the 60s, and as we do in our present polarization. Yet somehowon battlefields, across western wilderness, and in raucous convention hallsastounding events have reliably advanced America, restoring faith in the Republics providential protection.In this provocative historical narrative, Michael Medved brings to life ten haunting tales that reveal this purposeful pattern, including: A nearfatal carriage accident forces Lincolns secretary of state into a canvasandsteel neck brace that protects him from a wouldbe assassins knife thrusts, allowing him two years later to acquire Alaska for the United States. A sudden tidal wave of Russian Jewish immigration, beginning in 1881, coincides with Americas rise to world leadership, fulfilling a biblical promise that those blessing Abrahams children will themselves be blessed. Campaigning for president, Theodore Roosevelt takes a bullet in the chest, but a folded speech in his jacket pocket slows its progress and saves his life. At the Battle of Midway, U.S. planes get lost over empty ocean and then miraculously reconnect for five minutes of divebombing that wrecks Japans fleet, convincing even enemy commanders that higher powers intervened against them. A behindthescenes conspiracy of the pure of heart by Democratic leaders forces a gravely ill FDR to replace his sitting vice presidentan unstable Stalinistwith future White House great Harry Truman.These and other littleknown stories build on themes of The American Miracle, Medveds bestseller about Americas remarkable rise. The confident heroes and stubborn misfits in these pages shared a common faith in a master plan, which continues to unfold in our time. Gods Hand on America confirms that the founders were right about Americas destiny to lead and enlighten the world.
