Flames of Anarchy

America, 1908

When a bomb narrowly misses President Roosevelt’s personal railcar at Union Station, New York senator Jason Ellis is convinced it’s an assassination attempt. But no anarchist group claims responsibility. Could it be the work of a lone radical?

Angel Casimer, an American Bolshevik living and working in the shadows, is frustrated by the failure of his bombing. When his boss issues him a new mission—one that could topple the entire American financial system—Casimer wonders if this could be his opportunity to finally get the recognition he feels he deserves.

Former Pinkerton agent Andy Pettit—a childhood friend of Senator Ellis and his wife, Patricia—and some of his associates are brought in to investigate. Despite the detectives’ efforts, they can’t catch the elusive perpetrator behind these escalating attacks. The clock is ticking—where will the next strike be? The Republican National Convention at the Chicago Coliseum looms as a potential target, a possible death trap.

Flames of Anarchy is an exciting, pulse-pounding thriller that dives into a turbulent era in American history, where anarchists and radicals strike terror and fear into the hearts of bourgeois businessmen and politicians, setting the stage for a global conflict.

Jerry Borrowman is a best-selling and award-winning author of historical fiction, historical non-fiction, and co-authored biographies.

Compassionate Soldier won the 2018 Indies Gold (First Place) Award from Foreword Reviews in War and Military. Invisible Heroes of World War II won the 2022 Silver Medal. Compassionate Soldier and Three Against Hitler (with Rudi Wobbe) are George Washington National Award Winners from the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge.

Jerry has given voice to true heroes -- Rudi Wobbe, a German boy who stood up against the Third Reich, Joe Banks in A Distant Prayer who served on 49 combat missions deep into German territory in a B-17 bomber, only to be shot down and taken prisoner of war, and Colonel Bernard Fisher, USAF, a career Air Force pilot who was awarded the Medal of Honor for Valor Above and Beyond the Call of Duty in Vietnam, (also known as the Congressional Medal of Honor).

But for those who enjoy historical fiction, his World War I and World War II series provides insight into the great European wars of the 20th Century in a unique and exciting way.

Here's what Jennie Hansen, reviewer for Meridian magazine has to say: "Borrowman does a superb job of portraying life, including the values and prejudices of the early twentieth century. He brings a realism to that period that is slower and more innocent than teens experience today, yet the reader is led to an awareness of and learns to care about the hopes and dreams of these soon-to-be-men, who live in a time when automobiles are still new, and airplanes are little more than toys..."

Jerry's books are for readers of all ages, men and women. They will inspire you by the great sacrifices made by those who have fought for American freedom.
