The Great War by Harry Turtledove
It is 1914, and a generation lies rotting in the stinking trenches of modern warfare. A continent is crucified by a million miles of barbed wire. The cream of two powerful nationas are fighting each other to bloody stalemate. But this is not France . . . this is America. The bloodiest of conflicts is played out in the heart of the new world, where north fights south to the death - again. 'The wizard of If.' Chicago Sun-Times 'The standard-bearer for alternate history.' USA Today

This is state-of-the-art alternate history, nothing less - Publishers Weekly on HOW FEW REMAIN)Turtledove plays heady games with actual history, scattering object lessons and bitter ironies along the way.
