Revolt: the book

Throughout history people have discussed the how and the why nations rise and fall.  Is it conquest or rot from within that brings a nation to its knees?  No matter what the cause, or how long it will take there is one certain fact that we cannot escape- All nations fail.  It is the nature of humans to destroy what they build.  Only the brave and the strong can protect what is precious from those who would annihilate it all to gain and stay in power.  Sometimes only a few can make all the difference in the world when they stand against evil.  This is their story.
