If the South Had Won the Civil War FROM THE PUBLISHER
"MacKinlay Kantor 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, Kantor's 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 cover by Civil War artist Don Troiani, a new introduction by alternate history writer Harry Turtledove, and fifteen illustrations by 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.
FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
Kantor's speculative "what if" story about the Confederacy triumphant was published in Look magazine in 1960. It received enough positive response to be picked up and released as a book the following year. This edition features a new introduction by Harry Turtledove, author of The Guns of the South, as well as new illustrations. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
