TWILIGHT'S LAST GLEAMING: THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE UNITED STATES is a future history of the next hundred years. It is a cautionary tale of an America assaulted from without and corroded from within. PART ONE: O'ER THE RAMPARTS WE WATCHED tells of America's decline due to social decay, division, and myopic leadership in both the public and private sectors. Simultaneous with America's decline is the ascent of a younger, more vigorous civilization --the Islamic Federation Europe. PART TWO: ROCKET'S RED GLARE is the harrowing tale of the Third World War, a global conflict in which the main combatants are the United States of America and the Islamic Federation of Europe. A waning America proves no match for Islamic Europe. PART THREE: TWILIGHT'S LAST GLEAMING tells the sad story of the War's decades-long aftermath in which the United States breaks apart and new nations emerge in North America. This is Helena Handbasket's worst-case scenario, a downward spiral we may live to see if all the worst current trends continue unabated. What is it you dread? Western Civilization supplanted by a foreign culture? Economic inequality causing America to polarize into a society of aristocrats and peasants? Islamic theocracy in America? Christian theocracy in America? ALL this and more comes to pass in the future envisioned by HELENA HANDBASKET. No matter where you are on the political spectrum, TWILIGHT'S LAST GLEAMING is a nightmare.
