Title: Well thought out
Product review: Turtedove's interpretation of what might have happened had the Conferderacy won the war is a very interesting, well thought out and plausible scenario, and his versions of post-war politics in both the North and the South are very believable. As a reader who does not usually enjoy science fiction, I was pleasantly surprise with this book, perhaps because Turtledove used the idea of time travel incedentally in order to set a scenario in which he could explore the bigger questions of a Southern victory and the "what-ifs" that would ultimately follow. The author showed a great deal of knowledge about the war and its participants, making this book very enjoyable "semi" historical fiction. I would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the Civil War.
