- Descent: How America Lost Its Mind, Soul & Moral Compass documents how in the remarkably short period of 10 years (2015-2025) the USA has comprehensively betrayed its founding ideals and transformed itself from its long-held position of global leadership to a bitter, fractionalized, highly irrational land riddled with corruption and unaccountability at the highest levels of political power.
