    About this ebook

    Captured as a prisoner of war during the Second Mexican-American War in 2034, Col. Peter Iossi writes to his grandchildren in hopes that their generation will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

    Writing from Cell No. 73, the colonel describes America’s collapse into bankruptcy, anarchy, despotism, secession, and a nuclear war with its neighbor to its south.

    As he concludes: “The modern welfare, administrative, social-democratic state cannot govern without violating man’s natural rights. It is the antithesis of liberty, and no amount of reform can make it otherwise. It bankrupts the national soul, and then it bankrupts the nation.”
