The Next Civil War – on Peace & Justice 9am Wednesday Jan 26.

Written by Tom Walker on Sunday, January 23, 2022

This Wednesday at 9am we’ll talk to author Stephen Marche about his new book The Next Civil War: Dispatches from the American Future.

Retired US Army colonel Peter Mansoor, professor of military history at The Ohio State University: “It would not be like the first civil war, with armies maneuvering on the battlefield…I think it would very much be a free-for-all, neighbor on neighbor, based on beliefs and skin colors and religion. And it would be horrific.”

No matter your political leaning, most of us can sense that America is barreling toward catastrophe—of one kind or another. Relevant and revelatory, The Next Civil War plainly breaks down the looming threats to America and is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of its people, its land, and its government.

“Americans can’t say they weren’t warned. In his Farewell Address, George Washington was almost fantastically lucid about the exact situation the United States faces at this moment. ‘I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the state, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations…,’ he warned. ‘This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness and is truly their worst enemy.'”
