This book is about the power of communication to do great harm and how civic leaders and engaged citizens can hold other leaders accountable to prevent it. Author Helio Fred Garcia focuses on the language President Trump uses that conditions an audience to accept, condone, and commit violence against a targeted group, rival, or critic. Including a history of such rhetoric, this book identifies a playbook consisting of 12 forms of communication that typically precede genocides and other acts of mass violence. The Rwandan Hutu used 10, the Nazis used all 12, and Trump uses all 12, too.

The veterans of the 35th Maine are back in action against their deadliest foe yet. A regiment of American Civil War soldiers is swept from the battlefields of Earth to a distant alien world, where they face a wave of terror with only their ideals to save a fledgling human republic.
