American Front (The Great War, Book One)

In this alternate history, when the Great War begins in Europe in 1914, the United States and the Confederate States of America—bitter enemies for five decades—enter the conflict on opposite sides. The United States aligns with Germany, while the Confederacy joins its longtime allies, Britain and France. The war quickly becomes a protracted, global conflict, introducing new and chillingly efficient innovations like the machine gun, airplane, poison gas, and trench warfare. As the fighting rages across multiple fronts in the Americas, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt works to unite the diverse ethnic groups of the northern states (Irish, Italians, Mormons, and Jews). Simultaneously, Confederate President Woodrow Wilson struggles to maintain control over a Confederacy beset by ignorance, prejudice, and class divisions. As the conflict intensifies, southern blacks, who have been oppressed for generations, are fatefully drawn into a climactic confrontation.
