Roots of American Order
Roots of American Order is a book written by Russell Kirk, originally published in 1974. The book is now published by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.
In the book, Kirk traces the basic theories that underpin American civilization to ancient Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, and London and suggests that the ideas on which modern America has been built have their roots in these ancient civilizations, passed down through the Greek, Roman, Early Christian, and British civilizations through to the Founding Fathers of the United States.
