American Empire: The Centre Cannot Hold

Part of the American empire series
See all formats and editions

It is 1924: a time of rebuilding both in America and in the devastated cities of Europe and Canada.

In the United States, the Socialist Party battles Calvin Coolidge to hold on to power. And it seems as if the Socialists can do no wrong as the stock market soars and America enjoys a prosperity unknown for half a century.

But as old names like Custer and Roosevelt fade into history a new generation faces new uncertainties.

In a world of occupiers and the occupied, of simmering hatreds, shattered lives and pent-up violence, the centre can no longer hold. And for a powerful nation, the ultimate shock will come when a fleet of foreign aircraft rains death and destruction on one of the great cities of the United States.
