—A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year
Hugo Award–winning author Harry Turtledove is the undisputed master of alternate history. In American Front he uses his creative gifts to envision World War I as it might have been if fought on American soil.
The United States and the Confederate States of America have been bitter enemies for decades when a massive global conflict breaks out. Under the leadership of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, America enters the fray alongside Germany. Meanwhile, Confederate President
Woodrow Wilson allies his nation with France and Britain. As the two massive armies collide, the machines of modern warfare litter the landscape with carnage on a scale the world has never known.
Filled with legendary historical figures, American Front is an intriguing story of a past that never happened—but easily could have.
"This masterpiece ... is state-of-the-art alternate history, nothing less."— Publishers Weekly, starred review

      This "alternative history" takes a new look at WWI. This time, the war also takes place in North America. Turtledove peoples his war with dozens of characters. Since this was a time of immigration, the characters speak many dialects. George Guidall's narration is stunning. He produces distinct voices for each character, delivering even regional cadences and slang with authenticity. His masterful performance turns this lengthy novel into a virtual encyclopedia of American accents. The pleasure in this work comes as much from the music of the voices as from the story itself.
