Perish From The Earth

<p><em>Perish From The Earth</em> centers on the New York City draft riots of 1863 and more crucially upon a northern wanderer turned Confederate spy who manages to throw enough fuel on the riots' fire to turn American history in another direction. <em>Perish</em> may be the American <em>War and Peace</em> - an enormous claim but one made carefully. If you take a look you might just agree.</p><p><br></p><p>In this finely-layered fiction John Patrick Callaghan's account of his role in creating street battle mayhem and political intrigue is annotated by Henry Brooks Adams who holds a position in history at the Northern military academy at West Point. It is being published for limited distribution by the Northern government ca. 1880 as the no-longer-United States prepare for a Second Great War.</p><p><br></p><p><em>Perish From The Earth</em> is the product of a deeply-talented author bearing some of the best elements of Twain and Tolstoy. It captures a startling reflection of its times and our national character.</p><p><br></p>
