The Last Full Measure (Divided We Fall, Book 3) Paperback – May 9, 2017

In the last installment of the Divided We Fall Trilogy our heroes have come to the realization that they may have traded one form of tyranny for the another, when the group that had helped the rebels in Idaho drive out the federal forces have taken upon themselves to accuse anyone critical of the group or is simply nonwhite of being collaborators for the federal forces. On top of that, the war intensifies to the point where nuclear weapons are used. Our heroes decide that the only alternative is to leave town and find a place to wait out the war. The book's ending saddening, but hopeful that America's Civil War will finally come to an end.

this was an excellent trilogy. I didn't read them back to back so it took me a couple months to finish them.I thought the last one was as good as the first. 4,6 stars

Great illustration of the different sides of war. Excellent ending to a really good series. Would have liked to see a "10 years later" glimpse at the state of the world and nuclear aftermath.

I read this series because I had nothing else to read. It was pretty good up until the last book. I’m 1/4 through and gave up. It’s gotten boring and the same old same old stuff over and over.

Everything about this book wraps the series up nice and tight. The whole series had me reading ravenously every time I got a new one. I'm glad I bought the first because I had 10$ left to kill on my Barns and Noble gift card. If you're considering not reading this, there is no reason not to. You've read the last two, prepare for the epic finale!

Author Trent Reedy's DIVIDED WE FALL Trilogy may just be one of the finest pieces of post-apocalyptic fiction I've ever read. With lifelike, believable characters who jump off the page, and a situation all too plausible in modern day America. 17-yr-old newly minted PFC Daniel Wright finds himself embroiled in controversy & events spiraling out of control all around him - all due to an Idaho National Guard Action which he took part in, that ended in tragedy. But no one, it seems, wants to hear what really occurred, preferring instead to blame The Guard for firing on "innocent protestors" when nothing could be further from the truth. Unfortunately, we live in a 24-hour news cycle, where sensationalism rules the day regardless the consequences. And political forces seek out scapegoats, foregoing the truth in order to make political points. Young Daniel seeks solace in his close-knit circle of high school friends as tensions escalate and the nation is torn asunder, as treachery lies around every turn, and their world suddenly becomes a very dangerous place. Finding & knowing someone to trust can cost you your life if you're not careful. In this, the last part of the trilogy, the U.S. is no more. Replaced by 14 separate entities. Many of them ruled by cruel dictators, as thousands starve & more are dying each day in open combat with both U.S. forces, and petty gangs, warlords, and racist components. As it races to a defining conclusion, what once seemed like a peaceful solution once again turns to tragedy & Daniel's world is shattered. But it also is the catalyst for him to become the uniting figure - rather than the polarizing one he's been for so long. It doesn't quite resolve everything. But it's a start. And the final message at book's end is one for the ages.
