Alternate history books' market is oversaturated by white authors writing about WWII and the Civil war and Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov surviving. Let's add books by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Color) authors who have written alternate historical books, preferably not about the subjects mentioned. Please don't add historical fiction or nonfiction historical books. Only alternate historical. No books by white authors, no matter their otherwise marginalized identity.
Score
A book’s total score is based on multiple factors, including the number of people who have voted for it and how highly those voters ranked the book.
