It was not one single thing that had Americans worried.
It was the culmination of things that had come together over the years to give Americans this persistent, uncomfortable sense of foreboding. The country was coming apart. The pace of disintegration was accelerating. And there was nothing anyone could do to stop it.
The shooting of two unarmed African-American men by a Los Angeles police officer provokes a paroxysm of tribal bloodlust. The riots dwarf those for George Floyd. The country that emerges is fundamentally transformed, and faced with its greatest military challenge since the Second World War.
The tectonic forces that push up some nations to greatness while grinding others down to dust are also at work with ordinary people—forcing them to live in a world they never asked for, never wanted and certainly never imagined.
HOW IT ALL ENDS, An American Tragedy is an action-adventure that spans the globe. It is also a cautionary tale about the fate that awaits a complacent citizenry who place their trust in a decadent and corrupt ruling class.
