I really didn't like this book at first but it grew on me as I read on and got used to Mr. Turtledove's writing style. At first it seemed like he jumped to point of view to point of view without any connection and it was hard to follow who the character was, what side they were on and where they were located. As I got used to it the premise of the book caught me more than anything else. This is a “what-if” scenario, what-if the Civil War ended differently and the USA was split into the CSA (Confederate States of America) and the USA, i.e. North and South. There was a series of books by which describe this earlier conflict and the results by [a:Harry Turtledove 29479 Harry Turtledove http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1207604459p2/29479.jpg]. This first book in the follow-up series takes place during the WWII time period and the CSA attacks the USA and what happens after that initial attack. What I was really disturbed by was the treatment of the Southern Blacks. There treatment really opened my eyes of what could have been. The attitudes of the CSA people are disgusting and I'm starting to realize why we are still having these issues in this day in age. If that is just a little bit of what people think back then and has survived to 2011 then we as a nation need to make sure that these thoughts are destroyed.
