This novel was a Main Selection of the Science Fiction Book Club.
From the master of alternate history comes an epic of the SECOND American Civil War.
1881: A generation after the South won the Civil War, America writhed once more in the bloody throes of battle. Furious over the annexation of key Mexican territory, the United States declared total war against the Confederacy once again.
But this was a new kind of war, fought on a lawless frontier where blue and gray battled not only each other, but the Apache, the outlaw, the French, and the English.
As Confederate general Stonewall Jackson again demonstrated his military expertise, the North struggled to find a leader who could prove his equal. In the SECOND War Between the States, the times, the stakes, and the battle lines had changed, and so would history.
