AMERICAN EMPIRE: GUIDE TWOIn this stunning, thought provoking epic of alternate history, Harry Turtledove has generated an unparalleled vision of social upheaval, war, and cutthroat politics in a global just like our own—but with remarkable differences.It is 1924—a period of rebuilding, from the slow reconstruction of Washington’s many thankful monuments for the reclamation of ruined towns in Europe and Canada. Within the Usa, the Socialist Party, led by Hosea Blackford, fights Calvin Coolidge to put up onto the Powell Property in Philadelphia. And it appears as though the Socialists may do no wrong, for the stock exchange increases and America likes wealth unknown in a half-century. But as outdated titles like Custer and Roosevelt disappear into history, a new generation confronts new uncertainties.The Confederate States, successful in the War of Secession and in the 2Nd Mexican War but finally tasting defeat in the Truly Amazing War, endure poverty and natural calamity.
