While Uncle Sam Slept: Secession American Style

John L. Failla's recent work, "While Uncle Sam Slept," explores a daring and thought-provoking world in which the US is split into two independent countries: a conservative one and a liberal one. This political thriller, filled with covert operations and military strategy, explores the extreme and surreptitious measures taken by a group of senior military leaders to accomplish this separation. This covert plot carefully prepared its military takeover, during a period of three and a half years, with the initial task of disrupting the Pentagon's secured communication system housed within the basement of the Pentagon and declaring the new Confederation of States authority. With both sides now equal in military strength the thought of war became a moot issue as joining in an alliance was more beneficial keeping the rest of the world's powers at bay. From the initial commandeering of all military bases within the red republican states to the annexation of Baja California is this in-detailed, intriguing story line. Baja was won in the war with Mexico in 1848 and was never transferred, whether unknowingly or intentionally, as it was omitted. President Polk's negotiator drew the boundary line from Yuma, Arizona to San Diego, California. President Polk fired the negotiator named Nicholas Trist and refused his pay.
