USSA: The Past is Another Country: A novel of alternative history

USSA: The Past is Another Country is about what might have been as seen
through the eyes of 17 year old Alex Nurov, son of a prominent Russian father
and a beautiful American mother. Growing up on a barrier island near
Charleston, S.C., Alex has to deal with his dual ancestry in a world in which
Russian snobbery views Americans as lazy and parasitic. Alex's unquestioning
view of the world gradually unravels when he discovers something he calls The
Book. He soon realizes this is not one of the mysteries he loves to read-it is the
lunatic ravings of Father Piotr Babulieski who presents an entirely different
and dangerous history of the Great Uprising that produced socialist America.
And who is this Jesus Christ? A general?
