A stunning epic of humanity at war with itself, Harry Turtledove's Great
War
saga plunges us deeper into the war that began in Europe, then exploded
with
a vengeance onto American soil.
The world is convulsing. Germany has smashed its enemies: Austria,
Denmark,
and France, while the United States and the Confederate States of America
charge headlong into the global conflict--as bitter enemies once again.
The year is 1915, and the time of darkness has come. Though the
Confederacy
has defeated its northern enemy twice in fifty years, this time the United
States has allied with Prussia. In the South, the freed slaves, fueled by
Marxist rhetoric and the bitterness of a racist nation, take up the
weapons
of the Bolshevik rebellion. Despite these advantages, the United States
remains pinned between Canada and the C.S.A., so the bloody conflict
continues and grows. Both presidents--Theodore Roosevelt of the Union and
staunch Confederate Woodrow Wilson--are stubbornly determined to lead
their
nations to victory, at any cost.
While land and sea battles are fought around the globe, new killing
tools--poison gas, submarines, attack planes, and tanks--are pressed into
service. Heroism and fear run hand in hand as ordinary men and
women--families, friends, and lovers--choose desperate measures just to
survive.
From the trenches that line the Canadian border to occupied Salt Lake
City,
The Great War: Walk in Hell takes us to the American front, then into
prisoner-of-war camps, strategy meetings, and cities roiling with unrest.
Once again, Harry Turtledove--"the leading author of alternate history"
(USA
Today)--has created a gripping, visionary ****trait of how, if history had
but taken another path, our world would have launched into a much bloodier
War to End All Wars.
