From Liberty to Tyranny: How Expansion, Warfare, Economic Crisis, and Entitlements Threaten Personal Liberty in the United States (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781477613306)

From Liberty to Tyranny is a look at key events in United States history, and how they have resulted in an expansion of centralized authority and a reduction in individual liberty. From the founding generation through the Obama administration, key historical periods are dissected, including: Westward Expansion and Manifest Destiny The Civil War and Reconstruction The Progressive Era The New Deal The modern welfare and warfare states Filled with quotations, primary source references, and analysis, From Liberty to Tyranny attempts to demonstrate that liberty has been on the decline from America's outset, and is not the result of a particular party, or the curse of a particular generation. It also offers a number of suggestions for ways to increase liberty by undoing some of the mistakes of the past.
