A conservative commentator who, in the age of Trump, has drifted away from the Republican party suggests that political divides are irreparable and thus could cause a plausible split of the states into smaller nations based on geographical region and political affiliation.
What The Reviewers Say
In his admirably measured book...French convincingly argues that polarization is putting America on a perilous path to disunion.
... one of those books that’s almost too timely. Its long-range predictions already feel out of date.
... even if our current tattered state of the nation makes secession appear reasonable, that doesn’t make...David French’s new book...relevant. Our failure so far to develop 'cultural antibodies,' as French puts it, will mean continued political dysfunction in the years ahead, probably more violence as well. But it’s highly unlikely it will mean secession.
... incisive.
