7 unusual facts about American Empire


American Empire: Blood and Iron

American Empire: Blood and Iron is the first book of the American Empire trilogy of alternate history fiction novels by Harry Turtledove.

Blood and Iron covers events directly following the closing events of The Great War: Breakthroughs.

American Empire: The Center Cannot Hold

American Empire: The Center Cannot Hold is the second book in the American Empire alternate history series by Harry Turtledove.

During this era in Turtledove's Southern Victory Series world, the Confederate States of America, stretching from Sonora to Virginia, is led by Whigs (with fascists gaining more and more power) while the United States of America (which has been occupying Canada) is controlled by socialists.

Much like Adolf Hitler and his rise to power in real-life 1930s Germany, an antagonist named Jake Featherston rides a fascist wave to power in this desperate Confederacy of the Great Depression.

American Empire: The Victorious Opposition

Featherston is still not satisfied, and wants more territory that the U.S. had taken in 1917 (Sequoyah, and parts of Sonora, Virginia, and Arkansas).

American Empire: The Victorious Opposition is the third and final book in the American Empire alternate history series by Harry Turtledove, and the seventh in the Southern Victory Series of books.
