USA v Militia #3
Battle Front: USA vs. Militia: #3
THE NEW AMERICAN CIVIL WAR RAGES ON. . . .
First blood. The Federals drew it--as battalions of freedom fighters went tank-to-tank with the National Guard in the Northwest. Though the president declares the area secure, top officials know the the militia movement is spreading like wildfire--more violent, more organized, and more committed than ever to an armed victory over the United States.
No matter how desperately the government tries to regain its hold, the roads of America are shuddering under columns of tanks, the skies throbbing with Blackhawks. For two hundred thousand trained militiamen are armed with high-tech killing tools and the courage of true believers. And after a spark ignites the Everglades, the USA takes the most explosive hit of all. . .

I shouldn't have had second thought because this is a great book .Exciting , great characters, lots of action , both sides given an even hand , so one side isn't the heroes of the bad guys .I highly recommend this book
