The United States has long thought of itself as exceptional--a nation destined to lead the world into a glorious future. But what is at the root of these convictions? John Howard Smith's A Dream of the Judgment Day explores the origins of beliefs about the biblical end of the world, and how this belief led to the idea that the United States is an exceptional nation with a unique destiny to fulfill.
