Why Our Country Should Split Up (And How to Do It Peacefully)
America’s political divisions have become so deep—and its constitutional structure so poorly equipped to manage them—that it is time to consider a negotiated, democratic, and peaceful separation.
Published by Mariner Books, an imprint of HarperCollins.
“A bracing book by a giant scholar unafraid to follow an uncomfortable argument to its logical end.”
—Richard Albert, The Leaflet
