TRADE for PEACE: How the DNA of America, Freemasonry, and Providence Created a New World Order with Nobody in Charge
By Dr. Patrick Mendis (Ph.D. '89)
iUniverse, 2009


America has been a nation of great rivalry ever since the arrival of the European settlers.  This book traces the history of the two foreign policy traditions from their incarnation in the colonial settlements to their evolution into a lasting rivalry between Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian ideals.  Dr. Patrick Mendis deciphers the cause that unified these men and uncovers the perennial influence of Freemasonry as well as the founding vision of America embedded as "public secrets" in the nation's capital.  Foreword by Professor J. Brian Atwood, Dean of the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
