Editorial Reviews

“The multitude of plot lines takes a while to get going, but Guidall tackles each one with finesse and aplomb, as only a Golden Voice can do.” —AudioFile

“The third volume of Turtledove’s alternate-reality World War I presses on to 1917, which proves as much an annus horribilis as its real-world counterpart…Will a Carthaginian peace, with its equivalent of the Treaty of Versailles, sow a crop of new problems? Bet on it, and on Turtledove ending the Great War tetralogy with more of the mastery of military, social, economic, and racial themes evident in this book and its predecessors.” —Booklist (starred review)

“Historian and the creative writer unite in Turtledove to craft another impressive novel, this one the third in his series about an alternate WWI, which has seen a weakened Confederate States of America not only combating the USA but facing a communist revolt from within staged by its black slaves.” —Publishers Weekly

“Alternate history's grand master displays his acute knowledge of American history as well as his keen imagination as he paints a vivid portrait of a past that could have been.” —Library Journal
