Great read! I can see this playing out almost exactly as written...

His books are even better.
The only problem with that reality would unfortunately not make it so easy. It’s a nice narrative, but too optimistic about how it would turn out. I think it’s too happy of an ending compared to the last comparable time - the Civil War.
