BALKANIZED: THE COLLAPSE OF THE AMERICAN UNION
What if the United States was no longer united?
In Balkanized, Michael Morton strips away the patriotic illusion to reveal a country already fracturing along regional, political, and cultural lines. This hard-hitting, investigative work exposes the truth most media outlets fear to the balkanization of America is not a future scenario—it’s happening now.
From cartel-controlled borderlands in Arizona to autonomous zones in Portland, and from federal impotence in D.C. to militia-fortified redoubts in Idaho, Morton takes readers on a region-by-region tour of a nation tearing itself apart. With firsthand accounts, field reports, and unfiltered analysis, he examines how collapsing infrastructure, failed law enforcement, ideological warfare, and non-state actors are redrawing the internal map of the United States.
This is not a dystopian novel. It’s not alarmist fiction. It’s a forensic breakdown of the post-American age—told in relentless style and backed by hard data, real interviews, and government documents.
If you want comfort, look elsewhere. If you want the truth, Balkanized delivers it—brutal, unsanitized, and essential.
