American Front

The Great War, Book 1

Hugo Award winner Harry Turtledove is the master of alternate history. In American Front he envisions World War I as it may have been if fought on American soil. The United States and Germany clash with the Confederacy, France, and Britain as the machines of modern warfare litter the landscape with carnage. Meanwhile, oppressed southern blacks head toward a fateful confrontation.

Turtledove does it again, Guidall as well.

Would you listen to American Front again? Why?

I would. It's an impressive book.

What other book might you compare American Front to and why?

It's just as good as How Few Remain, and also better in some ways.

Which scene was your favorite?

The introduction to Jake Featherston.

Who was the most memorable character of American Front and why?

Featherston. We get some background on him. Custer too, but to me, he was annoying.

Any additional comments?

A must-have for any alternate history or Harry Turtledove fan.

Dowling!!!

I wish the story focused a little more on the interesting chracters and not the filler ones but still a good story over and will definitely be buying th he next one. I wish this book had more of the Red revolution in it.

Slightly Disappointing

I wish we would have heard more from the point of view of Generals. The closest we get is an aide to Custer, who is the same buffoon he was in How Few Remain.

I also wish we knew more about what was going on in Europe. We know more about Argentina and Chile than we do about Italy, for example.

Custer Butternut

I really liked the story very different from other books I have read I did notice a lot of similarities between what goes on today and what went on supposed 100 years ago. A very fun read / listen
