American Salvation

"A remarkable story of immigrant contributions to America, some familiar and some new." - Don H. Doyle, The Cause of All Nations"Immigrants, argues Gregg Coodley, are America's true superpower. In this sweeping study, he traces their contributions in government, business, literature, war and lately in high technology, by individuals both legendary and now forgotten." - David Sarasohn, The Party of Reform: Democrats in the Progressive EraImmigrants built our canals and railroads, filled our factories and farms, enriched our culture, and helped win America's wars. They built the atomic bomb and Hollywood.Without immigrants, the United States would be a second-rate power. Each wave of immigrants has faced prejudice and disdain, yet they have risen above to thrive and, in so doing, have helped America thrive.American Salvation tells the history of American immigration and the stories of individual immigrants who have been and continue to be crucial to the success of the United States.
