PIKEVILLE, N.C. - April 3, 2018 - PRLog -- What if political strife and unrest thrust the United States into another Civil War? This prospect is explored in Jay Chalk's book, Revolution 2050. The division between freedom fighters and a totalitarian regime sets the stage for a thrilling battle for power and truth. Would we fight for liberty and free will? Could one man on the wrong side tip the balance of power?

"In this day and age, we once again need reminders that each generation must fight for its own freedoms or it will lose them." - Gordon A. Long, author
