Years of unseasonably dry weather has left the desert southwestern United States in crisis. Reservoirs are going dry, crops are dying, and the millions of people who rely on fresh water risk losing it all. Yet in other parts of the country, particularly in the north, extreme storms have added to a large snow base that once melted could cause flooding and millions in property damage. Could politics be set aside to solve these two crisis at the same time?

The horrors of the American Civil War left the United States in ruins. In the defeated Confederacy, thousands had died, crops were wiped out, and cities were devastated. In the victorious north, the massive cost of the war was also evident; finances had been drained and the state's economies were on the brink of complete financial failure. Many around the world wondered if this once great country could rebound from this crisis at all.In his new novel, Civil War Reconstruction? (It Could Have Happened), author Burt Jagolinzer tells of another possibility - what if another nation were to step in and save the day?
