In   the United States, the Socialist Party, led by Hosea Blackford, battles Calvin Coolidge   to hold on to the Powell House in Philadelphia. And it seems as if the Socialists   can do no wrong, for the stock market soars and America enjoys prosperity unknown   in a half century. But as old names like Custer and Roosevelt fade into history,   a new generation faces new uncertainties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Confederate States, victorious in   the War of Secession and in the Second Mexican War but at last tasting defeat in   the Great War, suffer poverty and natural calamity. The Freedom Party promises new   strength and pride. But if its chief seizes the reins of power, he may prove a dangerous   enemy for the hated U.S.A. Yet the United States take little note. Sharing world   domination with Germany, they consider events in the Confederacy of little consequence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As the 1920s end, calamity casts a pall across the continent. With civil war raging   in Mexico, terrorist uprisings threatening U.S. control in Canada, and an explosion   of violence in Utah, the United States are rocked by uncertainty. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In a world of   occupiers and the occupied, of simmering hatreds, shattered lives, and pent-up violence,   the center can no longer hold. And for a powerful nation, the ultimate shock will   come when a fleet of foreign aircraft rain death and destruction upon one of the   great cities of the United States. . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9780345444226\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9780345444226","offer_id":57949199040837,"sku":"9780345444226","price":11.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/05b4b6b1-ed26-4c7e-9db7-c6aa7f2cbc4d.jpg?v=1778818069","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-center-cannot-hold-american-empire-book-two-von-undefined","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
