This fascinating third volume in the Britannia's Fist series will
have you pondering how easily history could have been swayed
differently. Peter G. Tsouras presents the third installment in his
Britannia's Fist alternate history series. The winter of 1863 had
rung down a white curtain on the desperate struggle for North
America. The United States and Great Britain had fought each other
to a bitter draw. On both sides of the Atlantic the forges of war
glowed as they poured out the new technologies of war. British and
French aid transformed the ragged Confederate armies and filled
them with new confidence. Both sides strained to be ready for the
coming campaign season. Both sides seek to anticipate each other.
The British strike suddenly at Hooker's strung out army in winter
quarters in upstate New York in a brutal swirling late battle
across frozen fields and streams. Besieged Portland shudders
relentless assault. The French attack Fort Hudson on the
Mississippi. At Lincoln's direction, two great raids are launched
at the United Kingdom itself as Russia enters the war on the side
of the Union to raid the Irish Sea. These are only preliminaries to
the great gathering of modernized armies and ironclad fleets and
with them are deadly submersibles and balloons. Battle rages from
Maine to northern Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay, down to steamy
Louisiana. And far away across the sea Dublin stands siege as
Russia cast eyes upon Constantinople. For Americans, blue and gray,
Britons, Irish, Frenchmen, and Russians, the summer of 1864 is the
crescendo battle of destinies and dreams. Skyhorse Publishing, as
