This is an interesting and readable alternative history about Germany going to war against the United States in 1901. Conroy combines fictional characters with actual historic characters from different eras. For example, we see World War II Admiral Bill Halsey as a young ensign and Confederate General James Longstreet as an old man called from retirement to be in charge of the Army. A friend of mine knows the author of this book and said his style was inspired by Tom Clancy. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes military-oriented historical fiction.
