"The series by Harry Turtledove is very good, starting with "How Few Remain" and going up to WW2.... "

I tried reading Turtledove's Worldwar series (on WWII)--I very much enjoyed the first volume: In the Balance. I liked it so much I bought the other 3 in the series, in fact. But by the end of the second one I was thoroughly displeased with it. Sam Yeager...I despise him. I also would have liked more from the "great man" perspective. And the plot kept repeating itself over and over again. Anyway, would you recommend the Civil War novels? I am willing to give them a shot but fear experiencing more disillusionment.

you see I started at the beginning of that series with "How Few remain" and then up through the years, through when TR is the President and all that.

The Great War series is much more relevant as you can actually see this happening sort of....

Here is a site that has this entire series in graphics so you can see it. I have read up to the Victorious Opposition, but I havent found the last one yet....
