In 2016, Mark Ledbetter returned to America after a forty year sojourn in Japan, raising a family and keeping an eye on America with both the knowledge of an insider and the eyes of an outsider, capping his career with three years as a visiting professor of linguistics at Hosei University in Tokyo. He arrived back in the United States in October of 2016, just in time to witness a political earthquake, one of those historical episodes rife with potential and danger, which give life, and sometimes death, to the story of a nation. Either way, he intends to monitor the process, doing what he can in his small way to save the Great American Experiment. He has written extensively on both linguistics and history, publishing in both English and Japanese.
Seventy-five years after the end of World War II, An Imperial Diadem challenges the dominant historical narratives about that war, a war which saved the institutions but buried the ideals of the Enlightenment. Now, three generations worth of accelerating change have brought us to a historical disruption point of the kind that rewrites the past to capture the future. In the battle for the future, might a classical liberal understanding of the war help revive the Enlightenment's forgotten ideals? Might it provide lessons for our times? That is the intention and hope of this book.
Mark David Ledbetter is the author of the four volume work America's Forgotten History. Volume five is projected for publication in 2022
