"Harry Turtledove [is] probably the best-known practitioner of
alternate history working today."--American Heritage
The year is 1915, and the world is convulsing. Though the Confederacy
has defeated its northern enemy twice, this time the United States has
allied with the Kaiser. In the South, the freed slaves, fueled by
Marxist rhetoric and the bitterness of a racist nation, take up the
weapons of the Red rebellion. Despite these advantages, the United
States remains pinned between Canada and the Confederate States of
America, so the bloody conflict continues and grows. Both
presidents--Theodore Roosevelt of the Union and staunch Confederate
Woodrow Wilson--are stubbornly determined to lead their nations to
victory, at any cost. . .
