“Well researched and eloquently presented.”
—The Atlantic
“Should be required reading for anyone invested in preserving our
246-year experiment in self-government . . . The book alternates
between fictional dispatches from a coming social breakdown and
digressions that support its predictions with evidence from the
present. The effect is twofold: The narrative delivers Cormac
McCarthy-worthy drama; while the nonfictional asides imbue that
drama with the authority of documentary.”
—Ian Bassin, The New York Times Book Review
“Richly imagined . . . Marche is poignantly aware of the degree to
which global liberty rides on what happens to America.”
—Financial Times
“Too many of his pronouncements ring true.”
—New Yorker
“It’s not a matter of if but when: A civil war is on the way. . . .
In a time of torment, this is a book well worth reading.”
—Kirkus Reviews
