If The South Had Won The Civil War

The Past is a strange place indeed . . . everything could have been so different so easily.Just a touch here and a tweak there . . . .. MacKinlay Kantor Pulitzer Price-winning author and master storyteller shows us how the South could have won the Civil War: how two small shifts in history (as we know it) in the summer of 1863 could have turned the tide for the Confederacy. What would have happened to the Union to Abraham Lincoln to the people of the North and South to the world?. If the South Had Won the Civil War originally appeared in Look magazine nearly half a century ago. It immediately inspired a deluge of letters and telegrams from astonished readers and became an American Classic overnight. Published in book form soon after Kantors masterpiece has been unavailable for a decade. Now this much requested classic is once again available for a new generation of readers and features a stunning cover by acclaimed Civil War artist Don Troiani a new introduction by award-winning alternate history author Harry Turtledove and fifteen superb illustrations by the incomparable Dan Nance.. It all begins on that fateful afternoon of Tuesday May 12 1863 when a deplorable equestrian accident claims the life of General Ulysses S. Grant . . . .
