Manhattan culture center The 92nd Street Y hosted a conversation on Wednesday evening in which Barbara Walter, a scholar on political extremism and CIA advisor, discussed her new book 'How Civil Wars Start.'
The broadcast, led by political podcaster Farai Chideya, provided a platform for Walter to unpack her theory of how the U.S. could be moving closer to civil war, and what we mean when we say civil war in 2023.
Walter’s book argues that historically both autocracies and healthy democracies are largely immune from civil war, but countries in the middle ground are most vulnerable. She characterized the U.S. throughout the conversation as a once-strong democracy that has been backsliding, comparing it to Hungary, Egypt or Brazil.

In America, Walter argues that factionalism tends to really break along racial, ethnic, religious and geographic lines, and warned that the biggest civil war threat America faces is a far-right political movement fighting to make the U.S. a white, Christian country.
