Summary from the Publisher
A massive war engulfed the galaxy for a period of three years. Billions perished during the Clone Wars, and the Jedi Order was almost completely destroyed.
Sheev Palpatine secretly engineered this war. While secretly operating as Darth Sidious, the Sith Lord, he manipulated the Confederacy of Independent Systems, all while his political influence within the Galactic Republic expanded. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine had already gained control of both sides when the war began, following years of meticulous preparation. His public image was untarnished, and nobody suspected that the galaxy was about to enter a dark age.
