But both Presidents – Theodore Roosevelt of the Union and staunch Confederate Woodrow Wilson – are stubbornly determined to lead their nations to victory, at any cost.
Meanwhile the new and poisonous weapons of tanks, gas and planes are starting to make their presence felt at the front. It’s total war for the first time in human history and it’s ordinary people on both sides who are the ones to begin suffer…

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.
