Shattered Nation: An Alternate History Novel of the American Civil War
"[Brooks] has created a brilliantly conceived and constructed novel. Although it is 800 pages, it is a fast and fascinating read that is difficult to put down. The author displays a mastery of the complex military and political nuances of the latter part of the war. . . It is a first rate historical novel well told." - Michael T. Russert, Civil War News"This book was a very, very pleasant surprise." -Brian Bennet, Civil War Courier
