Editor's Summary
I'm still reeling from this book's wild claims about the US breaking apart in 2012 - 20 years later, and it's still giving me the chills. The author, Igor Panarin, is a Russian academic who's not afraid to think outside the box. His ideas might be a bit far-fetched, but they're undeniably thought-provoking. If you're into politics, history, or just weird stuff, this book is a must-read.
Specifications
I have to admit, when I first read the blurb for this book, I thought the author was completely off his rocker. The idea that the US would break apart into six separate countries in 2012 and the dollar would plummet? It sounded like something out of a bad sci-fi movie. But the more I read, the more I realized I was in way over my head. To be honest, I know next to nothing about politics, let alone the intricacies of US politics. The author, Igor Panarin, makes some pretty bold claims, and I'm not sure how much of it is true. What really got me, though, was the fact that he made this prediction almost 20 years ago. I guess he just didn't think the US would last that long. The thought of it happening sent shivers down my spine. If the US were to break apart, it would be a game changer, and it's hard to predict what would happen next. So, here's the deal - read this book, and take a closer look at the issue. Maybe Igor Panarin was way off, but how wrong was he, really?
