The Next Civil War by Stephen Marche
Ezra Kleins Why Were Polarized meets Alan Weismans The World Without Us in this deeply researched work of speculative nonfiction that takes a fiercely divided America and imagines five chilling scenarios that lead to its collapse.
“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
—The Atlantic
