Just a touch here and a tweak there....
MacKinlay Kantor, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and master storyteller, shows us how the South could have won the Civil War, how two small shifts in history (as we know it) in the summer of 1863 could have turned the tide for the Confederacy. What would have happened: to the Union, to Abraham Lincoln, to the people of the North and South, to the world?
If the South Had Won the Civil War originally appeared in Look Magazine nearly half a century ago. It immediately inspired a deluge of letters and telegrams from astonished readers and became an American classic overnight. Published in book form soon after, Kantor's masterpiece has been unavailable for a decade. Now, this much-requested classic is once again available for a new generation of listeners.
It all begins on that fateful afternoon of Tuesday, May 12, 1863, when a deplorable equestrian accident claims the life of General Ulysses S. Grant....

In 1991, the Kennedy brothers first published The South Was Right!, launching the modern movement of Southern awareness and activism. To date, the first and second edition of this book have sold more than 135,000 copies! Not for the faint of heart, The South Was Right! is an authoritative and well-documented study of the mythology behind “Civil War” history and its ongoing effects. In their new edition for a 21st-century audience, the Kennedys have updated their message to provide guidance for the harsh conditions against liberty.

From the master of alternate history comes an epic of the second Civil War. It was an epoch of glory and success, of disaster and despair. 1881: A generation after the South won the Civil War, America writhed once more in the bloody throes of battle. Furious over the annexation of key Mexican territory, the United States declared total war against the Confederate States of America in 1881.

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.

What would happen if the ancient prophecy of the End of Days came true? It is certainly the last thing Eric Katz, a secular archaeologist from Los Angeles, expects during what should be a routine dig in Jerusalem. But perhaps higher forces have something else in mind when a sign presaging the rising of the Third Temple is located in America, a dirty bomb is detonated in downtown Tel Aviv, and events conspire to place a team of archaeologists in the tunnels deep under the Temple Mount.

In 1914, they called it The Great War, and few could imagine anything worse. For nearly three decades, a peace forged in blood and fatigue has held sway in North America. Now, Japan dominates the Pacific, the Russian Tsar rules Alaska, and England, under Winston Churchill, chafes for a return to its former glory. But behind the façade of world order, America is a bomb waiting to go off. Jake Featherston, the megalomaniacal leader of the Confederate States of America, is just the man to light the fuse.

What if mankind's "missing link", the apelike Homo erectus, had survived to dominate a North American continent where woolly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers still prowled while the more advanced Homo sapiens built their civilizations elsewhere? Now imagine that the Europeans arriving in the New World had chanced on these primitive creatures and seized the opportunity to establish a hierarchy in which the sapiens were masters and the "sims" were their slaves.

Ulysses S. Grant's life has typically been misunderstood. All too often he is caricatured as a chronic loser and an inept businessman or as the triumphant but brutal Union general of the Civil War. But these stereotypes don't come close to capturing him, as Chernow reveals in his masterful biography, the first to provide a complete understanding of the general and president whose fortunes rose and fell with dizzying speed and frequency.

Furious over the annexation of key Mexican territory, the United States declared total war against the Confederate States of America in 1881.

Historia
December 1862 drove the United States toward a breaking point. The Battle of Fredericksburg shattered Union forces and Northern confidence. As Abraham Lincoln's government threatened to fracture, this critical moment also tested five extraordinary individuals whose lives reflect the soul of a nation. The changes they underwent led to profound repercussions in the country's law, literature, politics, and popular mythology. Taken together, their stories offer a striking restatement of what it means to be American.

War seethed across the planet. Machines soared through the air, churned through the seas, crawled across the surface, pushing ever forward, carrying death. Earth was engaged in titanic struggle. Germany, Russia, France, China, Japan: the maps were changing day by day. The hostilities spread in ever-widening ripples of destruction: Britain, Italy, Africa...the fate of the world hung in the balance. Then the real enemy came.

Historia
This audiobook is the classic one-volume history of the American Civil War by Pulitzer Prize winner Bruce Catton. Covering events from the prelude of the conflict to the death of Lincoln, Catton blends a gripping narrative with deep, yet unassuming, scholarship to bring the war alive in an almost novelistic way. It is this gift for narrative that led contemporary critics to compare this book to War and Peace, and call it a "modern Iliad." Now over 50 years old, This Hallowed Ground remains one of the best-loved and admired general Civil War books.

Historia
It's 1974, and Jerry Stieglitz is a grad student in marine biology at UCLA with a side gig selling short stories to science fiction magazines, just weeks away from marrying his longtime fiancée. Then his life is upended by grim-faced men from three-letter agencies who want him to join a top-secret "Project Azorian" in the middle of the north Pacific Ocean—and they really don't take "no" for an answer. Further, they're offering enough money to solve all of his immediate problems.

Got lazy at the end
Good over all story.
But at the end got sloppy and ran with current US history as if the civil war was won by the north.

A tale that paved the way for alternate history...
This is one of the earliest entries into the genre of alternate history, and helped to serve as an inspiration for many writers that came after; not least of which was Harry Turtledove himself. That said, don't expect high levels of detail concerning how this timeline differs from our own. Basically, the Confederacy secedes from the Union, Texas secedes from the Confederacy, and all three work as amiable partners in every global conflict that follows before finally joining together again. Not the genre's best entry, but worth one listen at least.

tantalizing conjecture
on the one hand, slavery, a necessity of all past civilizations, the mainstay of the American South finds new life in this saga of what would have happened if the South had won the Civil War. Because of two key events: the death of General Ulysses Grant, and the defeat of the Union forces in Washington DC. Thank God, this never happened.
Why is slavery no longer in vogue? The Industrial Revolution is one reason. Why employ slaves to do dangerous and hard labor when machines can do it much more efficiently and with much fewer lost lives?
The endgame of the book: the South moves it's Capitol to Washington DC, and the North moves its Capitol to Ohio! They coexist.

Fascinating, Enjoyable Alternate History
What would have happened had the Confederate States prevailed and the principle of secession been affirmed by victory? There would, no doubt, have been far more social and political implications in the second half of the 20th century than this work, written in the middle of the century, could explore, but this is a well written, enjoyable thought experiment in how history might have been different.

Awesome that this book is now in audio format.
I hope this book influences alternate history authors on and off line in the years to come. One of the first alternate history books many have read, no doubt. Shame it wasn't expanded on morein several areas, who some other Presidents of the US and CS were, and so on. Narration leaves a lot to be desired, however. Still, one of the best.

A must listen!
Yes, a must listen. This is an incredibly well written story, narrated by a pro whose style, inflection and obvious grasp of the subject matter only enhances the story. For Civil War buffs and newcomers alike.

Where is the rest of it?
Buyer beware, this audio book is only about 2 hours long. Hardly worth it in my opinion.

One needs an advanced degree...
Even though this is a 2 hour book, I struggled to finish it! I am not a history scholar, and as such, this book is incredibly difficult to follow! In my opinion, this book is simply a two plus hour opportunity to string together words that (in the context of this book) have little relationship to the words on either side of any particular word!
I considered purchasing the book, Andersonville, authored by this book writer. And while Andersonville won a Pulitzer, the only way I can see buying another book by MacKinlay Kantor would be if I hadn't slept for several days in a row and needed a non-pharmaceutical alternative for sleep.

garbage and waste of money
2 hours of my life I want back- I love historical fiction but this one was lacking in so many ways and just moved through the 100 years or so it covers way too fast.
save your money, read something like guns of the south if you are looking for a unique historical fiction
