Turtle and Badger was first hinted at near the beginning of the COVID 19 pandemic as I was finishing writing my book Turtle and Hawk. in the epilogue Hawk arrives and interrupts Turtle from his reverie, saying, “I have seen something…”
It was too soon to begin, and it took me years before I could process what was happening. In the meantime I worked. I taught. I read. And I listened. Searching to understand how something so huge had grown and swollen to engulf the entire world.
This book is the outgrowth of that search. An attempt to understand how and why humanity came to be so openly at war with itself.
