The American Civil War of 2018

About the Book

The year is 2018, the world is in economic and political chaos, and the United States of America has once again been divided by Civil War. The Democratic and Republican political parties have become much more than just political parties. They now represent the struggle between capitalism and socialism. This struggle led to the eventual division of the United States of America in 2017. Republicans, Tea Party supporters, Libertarians, and some Moderate Democrats fled south and formed the Southern Republic of America to end the corruption and influence of the federal government.

Continued tax hikes, high unemployment, hyperinflation and a failing economy sent millions of Americans and most States into bankruptcy. When the people finally had enough of big government, they made their voices heard.

The Southern Republic of America was founded using the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as they were interpreted before they were manipulated or ignored by the United States Government. However, the United States Federal Government is now on the offensive and ready to put down the peaceful secession. In an effort to weaken and slow the United States Military, the Southern Republic of America's government enlisted the help of a Special Forces team called Task Force 24. This extraordinary group of men and women are some of the best handpicked specialists in the world. Their daunting mission is to slow down the United States Military by any means necessary, before the meaning of freedom, liberty and justice for all is lost forever under the socialist government of the United States of America.
