Check out this book if you want some light, but entertaining reading in the spirit of Killer Angels. link Anyone else read this yet? |

Russians? Now that piques the interest. |

During the Civil War, elements of the Russian fleet did visit new York (ostensibly on a friendship visit, but actually to avoid being frozen in for the winter in case of a conflict with the UK or France!). |

The author, an executive of the Defense Intelligence Agency, interweaves a lot of historical events as the basis for his fantasy look at World War One-Half. The visit of the Russian Fleet of course sets the stage for their cooperation with the Union. While the book is in deed far-fetched, it is believing enough to be quite a good read, and one of the best alternative histories I have seen. |

well if i know the Russians, they sent plenty of troops with no armaments nor supplies…..good place to issue all those old smoothbore muskets and hardtack too. |
