The Great War: American Front: The American Front [Paperback]

'Turtledove demonstrates the extreme fragility of our modern world, and how much of it has depended on the United States of America.This is state-of-the-art alternate history, nothing less.' (Publishers Weekly (Starred review) )

Harry has picked a monster topic for his new alternate history epic. The world of HOW FEW REMAIN - where the American South won the civil war - has moved on to 1914. Maybe Europe is overshadowed by the thunder-clouds of war, but it is not only Europe that suffers the reign of blood. The US decides to support Germany, whilst the Confederacy falls in with her old allies, France and Britain, and it is America that becomes the new battlefield for their old antagonisms. Once again brother fights brother, friend against friend and the New World is ravaged by all the horrors of modern warfare.

This is the first of a four book series on the first global conflict by the modern day master of alternate history. This is THE GREAT WAR...
