All the horrors of World War I, such as trench warfare and mustard gas, are present, only this time they're situated in a North American theater of operations where the U.S. fights enemies on both its northern and southern borders while Confederate blacks, studying up on left-wing radicals Karl Marx and Abe Lincoln, prepare for the revolution. As in Turtledove's earlier Worldwar series, the majority of attention is paid to an assortment of people at the battlefields and home fronts, their stories unfolding in gradual increments that, at least so far, only intermittently connect with each other. And there's not as much in the way of "real" historical figures popping up in this first volume of The Great War series, save for cameo appearances by U.S. president Theodore Roosevelt, Confederate president Woodrow Wilson, an aging General Custer, and a handful of others. It remains to be seen whether future entries in the series will feature such obvious candidates for inclusion as the young Ernest Hemingway, and <I>how</I> they'll appear in this strange new world. <I>--Ron Hogan</I> 737857 1998 The Great War: American Front (Great War, Book 1) total:391|5:6|4:1|3:7|2:3|1:0| 391 1460 512 17 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Mar 30 22:34:20 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 22:38:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 18 14:04:21 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 15 05:11:17 -0700 2008
