Summary

Best-selling master of alternate history Harry Turtledove offers a new vision of America after World War I. In 1920, as veterans question the very nation they fought for, socialist Upton Sinclair challenges Teddy Roosevelt for the presidency. And in the defeated Confederacy, a fiery racist whips his followers into a frenzy.

Post production could have been better.

Good story I read many years ago. Would have preferred chapters to have matched the book to make navigation and flow of the story better.

Interesting take

Alternative histories work best when you know enough about the actual history and I’m not big on American history so I expect I missed a lot but even so it was an interesting read. Sadly I didn’t really get to care about any individual character but there were so many! Not sure yet if I’ll read the rest of the books.

Amazing

Fantastic alternate history novel, best I have ever read. So much detail and epic in scope. Can’t recommend it enough.
