To Bind the Nation’s Wounds by James Huber is the second stirring episode of Huber’s trilogy, in which the USA’s economic and political failures prompt a coalition of southwestern states to secede from the Union. Extremely plausible, To Bind the Nation’s Wounds sounds a clarion call to all politicians, and to Americans in general, that some seriously bad things are in store for us if we don’t take drastic measures to return our beloved nation to the roots upon which it was founded. Although fictional, this book does an exceptional job of realistically portraying one very possible future scenario. Not surprisingly, our daily news headlines fit very nicely within the parameters of this story. Huber is either psychic, very intelligent, or a very gifted socio-political observer; perhaps all three.

To Bind the Nation’s Wounds is so very well-thought out and so tightly scripted one might almost forget it is not a history book… yet. The many characters could not be better suited to their roles; Huber has breathed life into their every action. A great deal of talent went into producing this book – indeed, the entire series – but perhaps Huber’s greatest accomplishment was to write this narrative without divulging his own political leanings. To Bind the Nation’s Wounds is, truly, a fair and balanced rendering of what the future may well hold in store for America, in the not-too-distant future. References to “recent” administrations readily can be consigned to either party’s failures in recent decades. At no time does Huber blatantly point a finger at anyone, yet his every statement has a ring of truth to it. If To Bind the Nation’s Wounds doesn’t strike a chord with every concerned American, it may already be too late.
