Miles H HodgesMiles Hodges is a combination Georgetown political realist (MA, PhD) and a Princeton Seminary evangelical (MDiv) long-interested in America's role in the world, long serving as a secular political science professor (University of South Alabama: foundr and head of the International Studies Program) while also serving at the same time as a corporate international political risk consultant. Then by the grace of God, he was called by God to street and prison ministry and to pastor three Presbyterian congregations. He then retired to become a social dynamics (the cause of the rise and fall of societies), history, and French teacher at a Christian high school (The King's Academy) in Pennsylvania - using the close study of America's and other cultures' histories as a laboratory designed to bring the broad focus of God and society to the understanding of young minds. He recently (2020) published a three-volume American history, focusing on the way a very special covenant with God has long guided this nation. And even more recently (2021), he published a personal autobiography focused on his own spiritual journey from cynical realism to a born-again Christian faith ... and now this single-volume (560 pages) abridged version of his three-volume American history.
