American Apocalypse

From Kurt Schlichter, the author of the bestselling Kelly Turnbull People's Republic series of action novels and THE ATTACK , comes his most terrifying and controversial conservative novel. American Apocalypse: The Second Civil War tells the story of America ripped apart by conflict after assassinations allow America's left to take control of the government and weaponize it against the American people to ensure it never loses power again. It is the story of Americans of all walks of life, Red and Blue, trying to survive against the backdrop of a brutal conflict in the cities and the countryside, where soldiers and armed citizens battle to recover their freedom. From murderous leftist terrorists to heroic Appalachians defending their homes against foreign mercenaries, from regular citizens trying to avoid starvation and terror to patriotic submariners risking it all to protect the homeland from foreign threats, from professional warriors to citizens called to arms, American Apocalypse is a violent gut-punch, a fast and sometimes grimly funny novel that unsparingly describes the hell awaiting at the bottom of America's slippery slope.

A Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2015 The first comprehensive history of modern American evangelicalism to appear in a generation, American Apocalypse shows how a group of radical Protestants, anticipating the end of the world, paradoxically transformed it. "The history Sutton assembles is rich, and the connections are startling." -New Yorker "American Apocalypse relentlessly and impressively shows how evangelicals have interpreted almost every domestic or international crisis in relation to Christ's return and his judgment upon the wicked...Sutton sees one of the most troubling aspects of evangelical influence in the spread of the apocalyptic outlook among Republican politicians with the rise of the Religious Right...American Apocalypse clearly shows just how popular evangelical apocalypticism has been and, during the Cold War, how the combination of odd belief and political power could produce a sleepless night or two." -D. G. Hart, Wall Street Journal "American Apocalypse is the best history of American evangelicalism I've read in some time...If you want to understand why compromise has become a dirty word in the GOP today and how cultural politics is splitting the nation apart, American Apocalypse is an excellent place to start." -Stephen Prothero, Bookforum
