Atlas in Ascendance - America at War (Bk III)

In the third and final volume, the United States of America continues to slide into totalitarianism just as the newly minted republic from the breakaway state of Wyoming gets its beginnings. However, a despotic ruler emerges as the USA decays and changes In God We Trust to something more in her own likeness. The USA and its constitution become the United Socialist States of America - the USSA -- and it no longer wishes to sit idly by and permit Wyoming and other states to secede; rather, it saber-rattles its intent toward war. The battle lines are drawn, as conflict between the two neighbors is inevitable. The clash of diametric ideologies is at hand, and they ready their armies and navies for combat. In a land so long united by a common people and cause, the ultimate outcome is as explosive as it is traumatic.
