The Texas-Israeli War: 1999
''The Texas-Israeli War: 1999'' is a 1974 science-fiction novel by Jake Saunders and Howard Waldrop. Several early chapters appeared in ''Galaxy'' in 1973 under the title ''A Voice and Bitter Weeping.''
==Backstory==
In 1983, the nations of the world agreed to the Oslo Disarmament, severely limiting the size of nuclear arsenals. However, this led to a proliferation of biological and chemical weapons.
By the early 1990s a fanatical Irish government had declared war on Britain, conquered Northern Ireland, and expelled the Protestants from that region. In August 1992, Irish commandos introduced LSD into the water supplies of much of Britain. Under the influence of the drug, the Prime Minister and Parliament ordered the use of nuclear weapons against Ireland and her allies, South Africa and China. The Commonwealth backed Britain in the emerging World War III, and the United States joined the British side after Chinese missiles, targeting the Canadian Great Plains, struck inside the US. By this time widespread biological warfare was in effect, with missile-born pathogens targeting both agriculture and human populations. One week after the beginning of the war, China invaded Russia. Israel remained the only major neutral nation. By the end of 1992, half of the world's population was dead; 90% had perished from plague and famine by 1994.
Later, Texas declared independence from the United States as the Second Republic of Texas; due to Texas' large oil reserves and refineries its recovery was an important strategic objective. During negotiations in Oklahoma City, President Clairewood of the US was kidnapped by Texas Rangers and held captive in Texas, while the US languished under the heavy-handed but ineffective leadership of Vice President William Mallow. War between the two nations continued; a Texan offensive into Louisiana in May 1999 was repulsed, but only after war crimes were committed by Texan forces operating under the command of the Sons of the Alamo, a radical paramilitary group.
