January 6, 2021 – Who would ever think that we’d experience such a day in the United States. A country that spends well over seven hundred billion dollars a year on defense proves unable to protect itself from a rag-tag army, led by someone with a Buffalo Horns headdress and lots of mismatched flags. People, who speak endlessly about how law and order is their number one concern, will watch as one of their allies beats a Capitol policeman with the flag of their idol while other policemen allow the mob free entry into the Halls of Power.
This book is the third book of a trilogy that began with Liberté, advanced with Eyes Open and Mask On, and concludes with almost a full cleaving of the two sides that can’t even agree on accepted facts and can’t talk to one another. It’s a darkly funny book that has poignant interludes deadly serious insights. It borders on fiction, poetry, and essay. It’s a view of the American 21st-century landscape. * It’s about where our gun culture is leading us.
* How big corruption, in business and politics, is allowed to exist because it’s built on a well-established platform of lots of little corruption.
* How rancorous partisanship has us fighting with our fellow citizens rather than holding people, who have the power to make a difference, accountable.
* It’s about how our influencers have captured the narrative and have divided Americans from one another. Eyes Wide Open brought the reader right up to the election of 2020. Barbarians in the Halls will take them right to the sacking of the Capitol and beyond.
It’s a clarion’s call for Americans to wake up and “really” start taking their country back, as a family, before it’s too late. It’s a hope and a prayer that Americans will begin to demand more from all their politicians rather than just holding the ones accountable, who have the right initial after their name, and replacing them with others who’ll merely disappoint them. This book is part of a collection but it can also be read as a stand-alone book.
