Publisher's Synopsis
. To Save America from itself and restore the Republic came a Military coup d'etat." FIVE STARS - By Jay L. Specht - Critic with Amazon.com Books "The Author has a clear view of our current situation in this country and how we got here and his delivery is focused and compelling. There was not a moment in the book where my interest or attention waned." From the first paragraph to the last twists you'll understand why the time came to depose a corrupt elitist government absorbed with a vile and unquenchable lust for absolute power. The Crucible of Decline is a fictional story revolving around the eventual collapse of the US dollar and how the general decline of the culture has caused and brought about a corrupted Federal Government headed by one President Carson B. Archer who declares a national emergency using an obscure act of Congress resurrected from the cold war era which allows the president to run the nation as a dictatorship. As the story expands, calamity overwhelms all domestic life and disrupts the international balances to a dangerous and explosive level. The roots of this fictional prediction are the destruction of the four pillars of America*s greatness: Cultural, Political, Economic, and Military. The story culminates into an all too possible prediction of what could happen as a result of present day government policies. Paramount is the cultural decline well documented and critiqued now well underway in the early 21st century and thus corrupting the political pillar which will soon collapse the economic pillar leaving only the military pillar standing under siege but ready to strike back. The story is supported throughout with commentary, historical references and facts supporting the probability of this fictional story becoming a prophetic reality. No political faction is exempt from criticism in the formation of this tragic story. Some may find moments of patriotism but not for long. There is much blame for all and no sacred cows are to be found in these pages. Archer longs for ultimate power and uses deadly tactics to mislead the public by stealth and deceit to achieve his goal. But an equally elaborate plan of stealth and deception takes place by the opposing forces to try to bring down Archer and his government run police state. In the midst of this action the book also gives overall meaning and substance to the things that could happen to the average American when the dollar becomes worthless.
