“We are headed for a Civil War and anarchy to follow.”
I just finished a novel along these lines. It’s “Patriot” by James Wesley Rawles. The setting at the beginning is a collapse of the currency (because of overextension of government borrowing and spending—sound familiar?) and subsequent anarchy which ends American civilization as we have known it.
The rest of the book is centered about six couples and a few single guys who have prepared for this and how they cope in northern Idaho. After a few years a United Nations military and civilian force sets about to reorganize the American government. I won’t reveal the ending.
