De: Tony Dunning

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

America stands on a knife’s edge.

As President Herbert Hoover turns inward, blaming the nation’s collapse on “foreign subversion,” sweeping crackdowns begin. Jewish communities, long woven into the fabric of American cities, find themselves vilified, surveilled, and hunted. From the streets of Williamsburg to the steel mills of Pittsburgh, families are shattered, synagogues desecrated, and dissent crushed beneath the weight of patriotism turned poison.

Across the border, Canada burns. War has broken out—a brutal, unthinkable invasion by the very republic once seen as a beacon of liberty. In response, a tide of Jewish American soldiers and civilians began to flee, not in surrender, but in moral revolt. Some cross north to resist the country they once served. Others journey eastward to Palestine, seeking a homeland that may not yet exist but must be defended.

In Europe, Albert Einstein watches the world tighten its grip around reason. As Germany slides toward fascism and Britain hesitates on the brink, he must decide where, and whether, conscience still has a place to stand.

Told through interwoven stories of soldiers, settlers, refugees, and resistance, The War for Conscience is a searing alternate history of loyalty, identity, and the terrifying price of silence. It is a novel about choosing when to stand and when to flee—and how to fight for what the world is too afraid to name.
