    From retired Naval officer and U.S. Naval War College distinguished graduate William Palafox comes a gripping political thriller that imagines a fractured American future through the eyes of a man who decides to take matters into his own hands. In this provocative debut novel, Jack Kolesar emerges as the self-proclaimed "Algerian," fighting what he sees as domestic colonization of America by its own elite class. Drawing parallels to historical insurgencies, the story follows Kolesar's transformation from disillusioned citizen to determined revolutionary, targeting not the political figureheads but the power brokers behind them. Informed by Palafox's two decades of military service and his firsthand observations in Iraq and Afghanistan, "The Algerian" presents a meticulously crafted scenario of domestic conflict. Through Kolesar's journey, readers witness a chilling portrayal of how societal divisions could escalate into open warfare, offering a stark warning about the fragility of national unity. This isn't just another political thriller-it's a thought-provoking exploration of power, loyalty, and the price of inaction. Palafox draws from his extensive military background and historical expertise to create a disturbingly plausible scenario of how America's internal tensions could erupt into something far more dangerous than political disagreement. Whether readers see it as a cautionary tale or a call to awareness, "The Algerian" forces us to confront uncomfortable questions about the direction of American society and the true meaning of patriotism in an era of deep division. About the Author>His time as an embedded military advisor in Kandahar, Afghanistan, provided unique insights into cultural conflict and the challenges of maintaining national unity in the face of internal division.
