Jim Hicks Knihy

Shift of Power, volume three of the Seasons of War series, finds Huck at a crossroads. The North Carolina Militia grows in strength as the green shirts inexplicably pull back to the major cities. Behind their walls, the green shirts construct their new authoritarian society as the rest of the state is forced to suffer in darkness. Huck soon finds himself the target of a deadly sniper imported from Eastern Europe as the militia organizes the defense of the free-South from a pending invasion.

Examining the representation of war, the author delves into how narratives shape public perception and policy in a democratic society. By analyzing various forms of media—from journalism to art—he critiques the sentimental tradition and explores more nuanced expressions of conflict. The book draws on historical examples, including Whitman's Civil War writings and contemporary conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, to highlight the complexities of perspective. Ultimately, it advocates for a critical understanding of war stories that challenge fixed roles of victims, observers, and aggressors.
