The Victorious Opposition (American Empire, Book Three) - Harry Turtledove

Descriere The Victorious Opposition (American Empire, Book Three) - Harry Turtledove

The monumental conclusion to the American Empire trilogy finds the Confederacy racing along the path toward renewed war with the United States. In a drama of spies and traitors, lovers and soldiers, Turtledove has created an unforgettable reimagining of history itself. \n[A] colossal and brilliant saga . . . [This novel] may be the strongest and most compelling since the opener, How Few Remain.--Publishers Weekly (starred review) \nSeventy years have passed since the first War Between the States. Jake Featherston, leader of the ruling Freedom Party, has won power in the South--and is taking his country and the world to the edge of an abyss. Charismatic and shrewd, he is whipping the Confederate States into a frenzy of hatred. Blacks are being rounded up and sent to prison camps, and the persecution has just begun. As the North stumbles through a succession of leaders, Featherston is feeling his might. With the U.S.A. locked in a bitter, bloody occupation of Canada, facing an intractable rebellion in Utah, and fatigued from a war in the Pacific against Japan, Featherston may pursue one dangerous proposition above all: that he can defeat the U.S.A. in an all-out war. \n \nPraise for The Victorious Opposition \n \nTurtledove's Great War/American Empire series is an epic achievement, a meticulously worked-out alternate history of the twentieth century's great two-act tragedy. . . . Bravo! A fine performance by a master-craftsman.--S. M. Stirling, author of Island in the Sea of Time \n \nAnyone who loves history will love what Harry Turtledove can do with it.--Larry Bond, New York Times bestselling author of Red Phoenix\n
