Title: An excellent alternate history and much more...
Product review: This is much more than an alternative version of history with the South winning the civil war. It is an insightful vision of how such a victory might have changed the thinking of the Southern leaders and people. This novel is a fine example of how science fiction can be an avenue to a more profound understanding of the human condition. The historical characters are alive here, the period rich in detail and accurate. Thougtful, moving, and very well written, this what all alternative histories should aspire to. Turtledove is often a disappointment. Guns of the South, however, is his finest book yet and perhaps the best of this gendre to be written thus far
