It is 1914, and a generation lies rotting in the stinking trenches of modern warfare. A continent is crucified by a million miles of barbed wire. The cream of two powerful nationas are fighting each other to bloody stalemate. But this is not France . . . this is America.
The bloodiest of conflicts is played out in the heart of the new world, where north fights south to the death – again.

Reviews

<i>Publishers Weekly</i> on HOW FEW REMAIN)
With shocking vividness, Turtledove demonstrates the extreme fragility of our modern world . . . This is state-of-the-art alternate history, nothing less
<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> on RETURN ENGAGEMENTS
Turtledove plays heady games with actual history, scattering object lessons and bitter ironies along the way. Strong, complex characters against a sweeping alt-historical background.
<i>Time Out</i> on A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE
Good fun. It has an authentic speculative quality, energy and dash.
<i>Booklist</i> on THE GREAT WAR series
Engrossing ... definitely the work of one of alternate history's authentic modern masters . . . totally fascinating.
