What if the United States was no longer united?
In Balkanized, Michael Morton strips away the patriotic illusion to reveal a country already fracturing along regional, political, and cultural lines. This hard-hitting, investigative work exposes the truth most media outlets fear to admit: the balkanization of America is not a future scenario-it's happening now.
From cartel-controlled borderlands in Arizona to autonomous zones in Portland, and from federal impotence in D.C. to militia-fortified redoubts in Idaho, Morton takes readers on a region-by-region tour of a nation tearing itself apart. With firsthand accounts, field reports, and unfiltered analysis, he examines how collapsing infrastructure, failed law enforcement, ideological warfare, and non-state actors are redrawing the internal map of the United States.
This is not a dystopian novel. It's not alarmist fiction. It's a forensic breakdown of the post-American age-told in relentless style and backed by hard data, real interviews, and government documents.
If you want comfort, look elsewhere. If you want the truth, Balkanized delivers it-brutal, unsanitized, and essential.
