In fact, he enlisted in the Idaho National Guard because he wanted to serve his country the way his father did. When the Guard is called up on the governor's orders to police a protest in Boise, it seems like a routine crowd-control mission ... but then Danny's gun misfires, spooking the other soldiers and the already fractious crowd, and by the time the smoke clears, twelve people are dead.

For a book about the descent of the United States into civil war, Reedy does something remarkable in my eyes: he actually manages to present a scenario where both sides have their merits and both sides have their fatal flaws, leaving me, despite what my inclinations might have been otherwise, to genuinely have to pause and question which side I would have chosen if I had been in Reedy's America. There isn't a relatively easy answer as there is with the Civil War we know, where the position tthe Confederacy was fighting for was at its core untenable because the state's right they fought for was the right to treat human beings as chattel. Take that away and you are left with an incredibly sticky situation--a multilayered charlie foxtrot that seems to cycle out of control with a power all its own.
Similarly, while there are some obvious caricatures of known talking heads and political figures, I did *not* get the sense of Reedy taking to the soapbox for a polemic against either the left or the right--except maybe to bash some heads together and point out how stupid we have *all* been. Indeed, hearing the back-and-forth, one really wonders how much was a matter of the legal crisis triggered by the nullification bill and two particular violent incidents, and how much of it was the result of a firestorm feeding upon itself from irresponsible media outlets and their trollish Internet minions (though one *does* notice on close reading that there isn't so much anonymity on the Internet anymore,,,another instance of food for thought tthat could seem to support Montaine's position...and yet...does it justify the lengths gone to by all?..keep thinking--like the whole book, this isn't an easy one to solve.).
