About this listen

In 1914, the First World War ignited a brutal conflict in North America, with the United States finally defeating the Confederate States. In 1917, the Great War ended and an era of simmering hatred began, fueled by the despotism of a few and the sacrifice of many. Now it's 1942. The USA and CSA are locked in a tangle of jagged, blood-soaked battle lines, modern weaponry, desperate strategies, and the kind of violence that only the damned could conjure up for their enemies and themselves.

In Richmond, Confederate president and dictator Jake Featherston is shocked by what his own aircraft have done in Philadelphia - killing US president Al Smith in a barrage of bombs. Featherston presses ahead with a secret plan carried out on the dusty plains of Texas, where a so-called detention camp hides a far more evil purpose.

If I was the president of the USA I would have settled for peace with Japan and left the Mormons alone in Utah.

Another great entry in the Settling Accounts series. From American Empire trilogy now onto this series, which is just as good.
As with the other books, the level of depth in this alternate history is amazing.
The confederate final solution is very chilling as well, last few books pointed to where it was going but now we see it in action.

Another Great Book
