"Following the US Navy's boarding of the British ship Trent in late 1861, Great Britain declares war on the Union while not quite committing to an alliance with the Confederacy. England is a sea power but very limited on land. She knows that Canada is vulnerable to attack, and recognizes the need for a quick and satisfactory end to the war. She needs to convince the Confederacy to fight much of her land war for her. In Washington, Lincoln is convinced that a reluctant McClellan must attack towards Richmond before the Royal Navy strangles the U.S. As a result, a very different Civil War ensues…For fans of Harry Turtledove and John Birmingham, this work presents a thrilling alternate history of the Civil War in which Great Britain joins the Confederacy in fighting the Union."

I did not read THIS book, but tried several others by Robert Conroy. I'm not very enthousiastic about his description of both sides: the Americans all are heroes who hit anything, their opponents are blundering fools who get slaughtered. I stopped looking for more of his books. |

I have not read this book but have enjoyed very much Harry Turtledove's series of the dystopian US Civil war published many years ago. I liked the quite realistic story timeline and a gret definition of all both sides main characters and behaviour. It is an 11 books saga that took me a couple of years to read… I have not read anything else on the subject as it would have added nothing new or interestng to the saga I enjoyed so much. Cheers |
