According to the book description of
Foreign and Domestic: Campaign II--Battle for the Middle States, “Can the president be a domestic
enemy? And if so, when can an army rightfully disobey their Commander-in-Chief? These are just some of the provocative questions
in author Michael Mannske's epic war-thriller about the looming battle between the UN and the United States, Foreign and Domestic:
Campaign II: Battle for the Middle States. It's the near future and the UN has seized power, battling the United States on
its own soil. Ex-Air Force pilot John "Spiderman" Trent finds his underdog band of Sovereign Forces on the run and
his wife targeted for internment. He smuggles a brilliant scientist across enemy lines and must somehow convince an entire
U.S. fighter squadron to defect, but can he save his wife, his country and the missile fields of the Middle States in time?
In pitch-perfect prose, Mannske explores what it means to live in a divided nation, where even the president is corrupt and
national pride is shattered. Called "near fiction" by its author, Foreign and Domestic is driven by current events
even as it plays with futuristic scenarios. It's a daring story of brave and bold Americans who are willing to rise up and
sacrifice all for their home, family, and their dreams. Thought-provoking and exciting, Foreign and Domestic is both an unforgettable
political thriller and top-flight entertainment.”

One reader of Foreign and
Domestic: Campaign II--Battle for the Middle States said, “While the rest of the world is concentrating
on terrorism or Britney Spears -- or the terrorism of Britney Spears -- Manske keeps us focused on the results of gradually
losing our national sovereignty in his new action thriller, "Foreign and Domestic". What would keep a future US
president from 'signing' over our national security to the United Nations? The problem with Americans is that too many of
us despise our own country so much that we would willingly and compliantly march, lemming-like, over the cliffs of insanity
just as Manske describes. Manske's Air Force pilot experience rings true in his air battle scenes with 'Spider', an aging
former Air Force pilot, and the American spirit soars in the 'can do' attitude of the heroes who have dug in in the Middle
States. And yet, the middle states' 'rebels', squaring off against the blue helmets from nations who have long wanted to plunder
us, embrace anyone from any nationality who yearns to be free of tyranny and mediocrity. Manske is a smart, thoughtful, and
creative patriot spinning a not-so-crazy-as-I-thought yarn that takes place in a potentially much-closer-than-I-thought future.
Wake up America! Manskes here to stay!”
