American Empire: Blood and Iron

Harry Turtledove

4 Reviews

Rated 0

Fiction, Science fiction, Historical fiction

This is first volume of the American Empire trilogy and the 6th volume in Harry Turtledove's epic alternative history of the USA, in which the South is victorious in the American Civil War. It began with The Guns of the South, continues in How Few Remain and the Great War trilogy, then ends with Turtledove's Settling Accounts sequences.

This is first volume of the American Empire trilogy . As Turtledove's brilliant series The Great War came to its end, the United States of America, in alliance with Germany, had defeated Great Britain, France and the Confederate States of America in a bloody conflict known as the first World War.
As the 1920s begin, though, the seeds of a new conflict have already been sown. The United States, led by Theodore Roosevelt, swings wildly towards socialism. In Canada - now a US colony - nationalist terrorists strike against the new American oppressors. But it is in the Confederacy, trapped in a ruinous economic depression, where fascism begins to spread, and the fires are fanned by a charismatic leader who may again plunge the world into war.
