As Professor Weinstein says, "Life flows onto the pages of the books we read." More than a mere "slice of life," classic novels perform a sort of miracle, jolting us to see the remarkable, often provocative truths that underlie the human condition.

The Great War: Walk in Hell is the second installment of Harry Turtledove’s "The Great War" series, covering, more or less, the second year-and-a-half of the war, along with the continuation of the revolt of the Confederacy’s Black socialists and the United States’ Mormons. Throughout the majority of the novel, the United States manages to retain the position of dominance it carved for itself in the first book, although the novel ends with the war no closer to an end and the outcome in just as much doubt as it was at the beginning of the book.
Having explored the alternate history of World War II in the "Worldwar" series, Harry Turtledove now turns his attention to an alternate World War I in "The Great War" series, beginning with American Front. This series actually began in 1997 with the release of How Few Remain, Turtledove's branch point occurred when the Confederacy won their freedom from the United States.
Twice in the last century, brutal war erupted between the United States and the Confederacy. Then, after a generation of relative peace, The Great War exploded worldwide. As the conflict engulfed Europe, the C.S.A. backed the Allies, while the U.S. found its own ally in Imperial Germany. The Confederate States, France, and England all fell. Russia self-destructed, and the Japanese, seeing that the cause was lost, retired to fight another day.
