sorry to be so mellow about this, but...the projected 5-15% reduction of County GDP is almost certainly based on a reduction of future GDP growth, not a reduction from current GDP levels.
It just means that if it keeps heating up, people might stop moving from the north to the South at the current high rate.
I thought American War had potential, but the whole premise is based on some really ignorant and erroneous caricatures of The South with no real sense of the true complexity of the region. Also, so many other books have treated the tired touchpoints it incorporates much much better.
Its not awful though, and the writing is solid.
Gravy is right. It's probably some good summer pap for the beach, but it doesn't break any new ground.
