In 1914, the Great War has erupted in Europe, and the United States and the Confederate States of America find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict.

Harry Turtledove's debut novel in the Southern Victory series is a gripping and thought-provoking alternate history that explores the consequences of a different past and the enduring power of myth and legend.
