Nowhere is it more fragile than on the continent of North America, where bitter enemies share a single landmass and two long, bloody borders.

In the South, the once-mighty Confederate States have been pounded into poverty and merciless inflation. The time is right for madmen, demagogues, and terrorists. With Socialists rising to power in the U.S., and a dangerous fanatic in the Confederacy preaching a doctrine of hate, more than enough people are eager to return the world to war. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“A master storyteller as well as a trained historian with an imagination . . .
