This book tells the story of surviving an economic collapse. The stock market crash, extreme inflation, and the bad decisions of the United States government destroyed the large and fragile American democracy overnight, and each American was left to face their existential challenges alone.

Under these circumstances, an ordinary American, Todd Gray and his team, used their knowledge of survival and advance preparation to survive in their stronghold in northern Idaho. During this time, they faced various difficulties such as food, water, disease and rioters, and defeated them one by one, and even accepted more survivors and formed a warm family.

But as the economy gradually recovers, survivors are finding that it is far from over. European politicians and American big capitalists took advantage of the social chaos to form the so-called provisional government, which imposed oligarchy and deprived the people of their rights. Todd and his team took the initiative and, along with millions of ordinary people, waged a war to reclaim democracy. Countless people, even several of Todd's closest friends, died in this war, and with their efforts, can the American people win the war and regain true freedom?

About the author

James Rawles. JamesWesleyRawles

James Wesley Lowles was born in 1960 in Livermore, California, the son of pioneers in the 1850s. From 1984 to 1993, a graduate of SAN Jose State University, Lowles served in the U.S. Army Intelligence Service, where his nearly decade-long intelligence career gave him a different perspective on social issues in many countries. During this time, Rawls completed his first novel, Patriot: A Survival Saga of the Coming Crash, which depicts a future scenario following hyperinflation and the collapse of the socioeconomic system. Despite being a novel, Lowles is convinced that reality is not far off: "I've come to the conclusion that the power grid is the key. If the power grid goes down because of an economic collapse or a terrorist attack, all cities will collapse."

The novel, whose first draft was completed in 1991, was surprisingly prophetic about much of what had happened in the last two decades and cemented Rawls's place in the history of the survivalist movement. Since then, he has come to be known as the Godfather of survivalism.

In 2005, Rawls started his own SurvivalBlog, and blogging became his full-time job. Today, his Survival blog has become one of the most popular blogs on the Internet about survival and crisis management, with more than 220,000 visitors a week and nearly 50 million visits.
