5.0 out of 5 stars
A gripping tale of intrigue and revolution, March 7, 2009
This review is from: Civil War II (Paperback)
WOW, what a timely book. It was first published in 2004 but could have been written today after watching the news. With fierce partisanship roaring on all sides and rhetoric getting worse by the day and a collapsing economy along with, some say, Socialist "bail outs" it is scary. Do you ever wonder where this is all going? Well, Nelson tells us a possibility in a gripping tale of intrigue and revolution . . . like any good story teller, he makes it sound possible.
OK, OK, his stereotypical treatments of Southern law enforcement and Southern wardens (not to mention Southern names) only prove that he was not privileged to be raised in the South . . . shades of Cool Hand Luke - "What we've got here is (a) failure to communicate." I am also a little concerned about the leading lady's ethics concerning privileged information but I can easily forgive these transgressions because the book was so darn readable.
