ISBN: 9780345406156.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn How Few Remain, Harry Turtledove set the stage for his stunning\nalternate history of World War I. Now, with The Great War: American\nFront,\nhe carries this towering epic into the early twentieth century in a bold\nre-imagining of the fateful war that hurtled humanity into the modern\nage.\nEnvision a divided America--one camp led by Theodore Roosevelt, the other\nby Woodrow Wilson--in the most explosive conflict humankind has seen,\nwhere\nglobal war is waged with sophisticated weaponry on American soil for the\nfirst time in history.\n\nWhen the Great War engulfed Europe in 1914, the United States and the\nConfederate States of America, bitter enemies for five decades, entered\nthe\nfray on opposite sides: the United States aligned with the newly strong\nGermany, while the Confederacy joined forces with their allies, Britain\nand\nFrance. But it soon became clear to both sides that this fight would be\ndifferent--that war itself would never be the same again. For this was to\nbe a protracted, global conflict waged with new and chillingly efficient\ninnovations--the machine gun, the airplane, poison gas, and trench warfare.\n\nIn the Americas, the fighting spread like wildfire on multiple and\nfar-flung fronts. The U.S. Army invaded the South, striking in Virginia,\nKentucky, and the West and assaulted Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec. As\nPresident Theodore Roosevelt rallied the diverse ethnic groups of the\nnorthern states--Irish and Italians, Mormons and Jews--Confederate\nPresident Woodrow Wilson struggled to hold together a Confederacy still\nbeset by ignorance, prejudice, and class divisions. And as the war raged\non, southern blacks, oppressed for generations, are fatefully drawn into a\nclimactic confrontation.\n\nIn The Great War: American Front, Harry Turtledove creates a vast,\nvibrant\ncanvas that blends actual events and players with a history as it might\nhave been. This unforgettable, deeply moving, and superbly original novel\nis a triumph of the creative imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Del Rey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67600272261173,"sku":"ByrdShop_034540615X","price":22.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780345406156_fa30cde7-e234-4072-91da-a6e3ee9c7beb.jpg?v=1791967450","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/american-front-9780345406156","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
