"Civil War Two is a first-rate thriller, an epic history of a possible American future, and a compelling read you will be unable to put down."- Paul DiMaggio, Professor of Sociology, NYU Department of Sociology "In the world of sociologists, Randall Collins enjoys a unique professional reputation. This is far from mere fantasy; it is a solidly built, scary hypothesis about a possible future of America."
- Georgi Derluguian, expert on modern civil wars, Carnegie Scholar, and Professor of Social Research and Public Policy NYU Abu Dhabi "In this perfectly timed and engaging prophetic novel, Randall Collins revisits themes central to his sociology-history, violence, war, emotions, human interactions-to give a troubling picture of the world ahead. A must for those looking for a most engaging read!"
- Michèle Lamont, Harvard University, Professor of Sociology and of African and African American Studies "In Civil War Two, Collins provides a believable and timely account of a country divided between secularists and religious zealots. The politics of romance and espionage, of human frailty and ambition, all jump from the page-Collins provides a masterful account ofwhat a second US civil war would feel like from the inside."
- Randol Contreras, University of Toronto, AssistantProfessor of Sociology, author of The Stickup Kids "Civil War 2 is a timely and compelling novel about what could beAmerica's next Civil War. The writing is exceptional. Collins has created vivid characters that superbly weave his narrative andpowerfully brings his story home-an engrossing read." - Elijah Anderson, Yale University, author of Code of the Street "Collins has channeled his deep knowledge of human violence and the intricacies of combat into a taut and compelling what if fantasy that takes the cultural fissures of our nation to full scale rupture."
