Story
Pearl Harbor covers the full spectrum of characters and events from that historic moment, from national leaders and admirals to the views of ordinary citizens caught in the chaos of war. Gingrich and Forstchen's now critically acclaimed approach, which they term "active history", examines how a change in but one decision might have profoundly altered American history. In Pearl Harbor, they pose the question of how the presence of but one more man within the Japanese attacking force could have transfigured the war.

Already cited on the floor of Congress and discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a book all Americans should read, One Second After is the story of a war scenario that could become all too terrifyingly real. Based upon a real weapon - the Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) - which may already be in the hands of our enemies, it is a truly realistic look at the awesome power of a weapon that can destroy the entire United States.

January 1864: General Robert E. Lee faces defeat. The Army of Northern Virginia is ragged and ill-equipped. Gettysburg has broken the back of the Confederacy and decimated its manpower. Then, Andries Rhoodie, a strange man with an unplaceable accent, approaches Lee with an extraordinary offer. Rhoodie demonstrates an amazing rifle: its rate of fire is incredible, its lethal efficiency breathtaking - and Rhoodie guarantees unlimited quantities to the Confederates. The name of the weapon is the AK-47.

In 1770, the fuse of revolution is lit by a fateful command - “Fire!” - as England’s peacekeeping mission ignites into the Boston Massacre. The senseless killing of civilians leads to a tumultuous trial in which lawyer John Adams must defend the very enemy who has assaulted and abused the laws he holds sacred. The taut courtroom drama soon broadens into a stunning epic of war as King George III leads a reckless and corrupt government in London toward the escalating abuse of his colonies.

Publisher's summary
After two days of brutal combat, Confederate General Robert E. Lee is faced with an agonizing decision. He can either launch a frontal assault directly at the center of Union lines, or he can flank the Federals and attack from the rear. Choosing the second option, Lee sends his troops around the Union army, cutting them off from Washington, D.C. and their supplies. Staring at the face of disaster, the Federals are forced into a desperate fight to survive.
Gettysbury is a fascinating "what if?" novel that faithfully brings to life the major players in America's greatest battle and places them in an entirely plausible scenario. Through Tom Stechschulte's stirring narration, listeners will marvel at what could have been.
Critic reviews
"Well-executed alternative history....The novel has a narrative drive and vigor that makes the climactic battle scene a real masterpiece of its kind." (Publishers Weekly)

Story
Stonewall Jackson was a military genius, at once peculiar and perfect, a fearless soldier in battle but a God-fearing man who hesitated to kill on Sunday. He broke the rules of war to win, and yet his tactics are studied in military academies the world over. From the remarkable Valley Campaign through the Seven Days, Manassas, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and the masterful though tragic sweep at Chancellorsville, where Jackson was felled by one of his own soldiers, this is a compelling narrative of men and war.

Pearl Harbor covers the full spectrum of characters and events from that historic moment, from national leaders and admirals to the views of ordinary citizens caught in the chaos of war. Gingrich and Forstchen's now critically acclaimed approach, which they term "active history", examines how a change in but one decision might have profoundly altered American history. In Pearl Harbor, they pose the question of how the presence of but one more man within the Japanese attacking force could have transfigured the war.

Story
The greatest of all Civil War campaigns, Gettysburg was the turning point of the turning point in our nation’s history. Volumes have been written about this momentous three-day battle, but recent histories have tended to focus on the particulars rather than the big picture: on the generals or on single days of battle—even on single charges—or on the daily lives of the soldiers. In Gettysburg Sears tells the whole story in a single volume.

These untold stories and inspiring lessons about the rise of modern conservatism are immensely relevant today as the United States faces profound and extraordinary challenges.

F***ing Awesome
I've been a Civil War history buff since I was a kid. I give it five stars across the board because it was an excellent novel. The failures are Gettysburg by Lee and his generals have always been a stick in my craw, and every time I watch Gettysburg or watch documentaries, I keep wishing it'll be different, not because I'm sympathetic to the Confederacy, but because the tactical mistakes were so blatant I found it perplexing that they happened at all, and the solutions to those mistakes were equally apparent. Well, in this book I got a satisfying action that actually made sense, and being written by historians everything was accurate, down to the personalities of the generals, thus what their most realistic decision might have been. Five stars, because finally the mistakes have been reversed.

Wonderfully Crafted
Not usally so generous with the stars but I couldn't stoping listening to this novel.I am a big fan of alternate history and the what if concept. I hope that the Authors continue this line of thinking. This listen will grab you and take you in right from the start. Even if you are not a great reader of historical books the Authors make it interesting. I found myself wanting the outcome to be different and it does make you wonder what Lee was actually thinking so many years ago. Well I am off to get the next book and hope these Authors continue this type of work.

Not a Newt fan but book is 5 stars
I hesitated to by this alternate history novel since I am a Staunch Democrat and this novel wass by Newt Gingrich. Never really took him for the fiction kind of guy, but WOW! What a piece of work. Compelling, accurate, entertaining, vivid, couldn't put it down. Just bought Grant Goes East 5 minutes after I finished this one. DO NOT MISS IT.

Excellent Book
Excellent story and narration. The twists and turns of this alternative history present a plausible answer to the question, what if Lee had not attacked on the second and third day at Gettysburg. Even in the time of the Civil War, it was extremely difficult for an army to cross an open field to assult an enemy without getting shot to pieces.

Truth is better than fiction
While it is clear from the beginning that this was fiction, it is well enough written that one wonders why the authors didn't just right the true story. it is more compelling than the "active history" touted at the beginning. I will go back to real history on my next read.

An excellent story of the Battle of Gettysburg. The horrors of war described in graphic detail and the circumstances for the decisions. The story also gives me a new perspective of the petty foolishness we currently occupy ourselves.
The narration is excellent well fitting the gripping story. I recommend this novel.
