From a review I submitted to Amazon:
This book delves into the background and present state of the Crisis facing America from a Right-wing Conservative viewpoint. The term Seventh Crisis comes from the Generational Dynamics theory of historical analysis of Strauss and Howe, which charts six previous crises in Anglo-American history occurring at intervals of once a lifetime. What cost it a star (and almost cost it two stars, but I am in a generous mood) is its virtual lack of any consideration of warfare in the Crisis. Each of the preceding crises was featured by Total War, each exponentially worse than the one before.
I would like to see a similar book from a Left-Wing Liberal viewpoint.

As per your suggestion, given the realities of the current swamp government and media, it is quite clear that the people will have to be MEAN and/or violent to change anything. Telling people the truth makes them mad, just look around, especially with all the falsehoods perpetrated on even children at this point socially and biologically. It is uncomfortable, but honest. The left is already violent, so thinking they won't go down without some kind of fight is foolish.
