If The South Had Won The Civil War

An interesting book, though it spends too much time on pre-war politics. Interesting projections about the American west, Hawaii & Alaska too. The interesting stuff is near the end about how aa agrarian south (Confederate States of America), industrial north (United States of America) and fiercely independent Republic of Texas, work together in World wars I & II. It ends in a kind of surprise which I won't spoil here. It was an ok read with a good introduction by the master of alternate histories, Harry Turtledove.
