{"product_id":"balkanized-michael-morton-9798293068074","title":"Balkanized: The Collapse of the American Union","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat if the United States was no longer united?\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cb\u003eBalkanized\u003c\/b\u003e, Michael Morton strips away the patriotic illusion to reveal a country already fracturing along regional, political, and cultural lines. This hard-hitting, investigative work exposes the truth most media outlets fear to admit: the balkanization of America is not a future scenario-it's happening now.\u003cbr\u003eFrom cartel-controlled borderlands in Arizona to autonomous zones in Portland, and from federal impotence in D.C. to militia-fortified redoubts in Idaho, Morton takes readers on a region-by-region tour of a nation tearing itself apart. With firsthand accounts, field reports, and unfiltered analysis, he examines how collapsing infrastructure, failed law enforcement, ideological warfare, and non-state actors are redrawing the internal map of the United States.\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a dystopian novel. It's not alarmist fiction. It's a forensic breakdown of the post-American age-told in relentless style and backed by hard data, real interviews, and government documents.\u003cbr\u003eIf you want comfort, look elsewhere. If you want the truth, \u003cb\u003eBalkanized\u003c\/b\u003e delivers it-brutal, unsanitized, and essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Morton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798293068074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Michael Morton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47244471206143,"sku":"9798293068074","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d59cf05-201b-4109-b3f7-63bd121383dc.jpg?v=1758135830","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/balkanized-michael-morton-9798293068074","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
