Overview
Divided We Fall is a riveting and compelling political thriller that offers insights into America’s dangerous strategic vulnerabilities in the Middle East. It is designed for readers who seek non-partisan perspectives into the most important issues of our time, and who prefer to be entertained while they are being enlightened.
Divided We Fall projects an alarming scenario that could realistically unfold if America retreats from Iraq. The characters and events are fictional, but they are inspired by real world circumstances.
The Story
Political ineptitude and relentlessly pessimistic media propaganda on Iraq have pushed America to the edge of a defeatist abyss, and one extraordinary young woman may the only person who can help America avoid a catastrophe.
Michelle Carlson is a PhD prodigy who is the CIA’s leading analyst on Iranian issues. She is also the strikingly beautiful daughter of the CIA Director.
Michelle tracks the activities of the radical Iranian government as it builds alliances with Russia, China, Venezuela, Iraq and Syria. She also follows the strategic effect of America’s self-destructive political warfare that results in a military retreat from Iraq.
In late 2007, her analysis indicates that Iran is about to join with Iraq and Syria to destroy the depleted U.S. forces in Iraq with logistical support from Russia and China. Their goal is to seize all of the Middle-East oil reserves as part of a plan to devastate the U.S. economy, and its geopolitical primacy in the world.
Michelle’s deadly journey to defeat the Iranian strategy reveals America's military and economic vulnerabilities, and the huge political obstacles that must be overcome for America to avoid its demise in a cauldron of defeatism and political ineptitude. Michelle's extreme intellect, courage and physical beauty captivate the imagination of every man she meets from boyfriends to Presidents. She uses these attributes to inspire them all to find a higher awareness that helps America rediscover its spiritual consciousness.

Author Comments
Divided We Fall is not a prediction of future geopolitical events. It is a fictional projection of disastrous potential scenarios that could realistically unfold if America withdraws its forces from Iraq. Such a retreat would send a very clear message to the world that the United States has lost its will to defend its most vital strategic interests. A surrender of this magnitude could trigger a series of responses by America’s enemies and world financial markets that might be far more catastrophic than the average American can imagine.
Divided We Fall clarifies America’s economic and geopolitical situation for voters who have become dispirited by the daily deluge of cynical and deceitful media reporting. It also underscores the cause and effect relationship between what America does, and how its enemies react. The main characters and major events are a fictional glimpse into a possible future that is inspired by real world circumstances.
Divided We Fall is a call to duty for all Americans who understand that freedom is never free, and that weakness invites aggression. It is a must read for people who care about their children's future, and who are seeking clear insights into America's strategic situation.
