	A Tribute to Harry Turtledove
		Harry Norman Turtledove was born in Los Angeles, CA on 14 June 1949.
		Harry Turtledove's second multivolume saga of 20th-century "alternative history," American Front, takes place in the world in which the Confederate States win the Civil War and in 1914, allied with England and France, go to war against the United States once more.
		As in Turtledove's earlier Worldwar series, the majority of attention is paid to an assortment of people at the battlefields and home fronts, their stories unfolding in gradual increments that, at least so far, only intermittently connect with each other.

	American Empire: The Victorious Opposition by Harry Turtledove
		This is in stark contrast to the tactics of his predecessor: the Socialist Party president, Hosea Blackford.
		Finally, England and the United States had abandoned much of their economic freedom to become fascist (fascism is an economic philosophy) in the 1930s as a failed attempt to combat the Great Depression.
		Indeed, as a touch of irony, the media consultant (to use a modern phrase) for the Freedom party is a southern Jew named Saul Goldman.

		Harry Turtledove has taken a central event in the history of the United States, namely the Civil War, and changed the result.
		A former confederate submarine captain is central to the formation of the fascist Freedom Party.
		Turtledove's use of the varying aspects and the differing nature of his characters lives and points of view are well tied together to bring about a great story.

	Radical Liberal Party (Confederate States) at AllExperts
		The Radical Liberal Party (sometimes called the Rad-Libs) of Harry Turtledove's Southern Victory series is the more liberal of the two main parties in the Confederate States of America, being the main opposition ot the Whig Party until the rise of the Freedom Party in the late 20s and 30s.
		Even with the rise of this party, the Whigs were able to keep a hold on all branches of government in the interior (the important parts of the CSA).
		LIberal Radicals who tried to resist were sent to concentration camps or killed, togehter with their long-standing rivals the Whigs, and the party assets and premises confiscated on behalf of the Freedom Party - though Featherston seemed not to bother outlalwing the party officially, letting it continue a kind of meaningless ghostly existence.

	The Best Reviews: Harry Turtledove, American Empire: The Victorious Opposition Review
		His freedom party goons are agitating in Sequoyah, Houston and Kentucky for a plebiscite and the socialist president of the USA finally allows the people of those states to vote on whether they want to stay in the USA or leave and rejoin the CSA.
		The Freedom Party can be compared with the rise of the Nazi Party in our universe and just like the SS troopers; the high-ranking members in the party use the same strong-arm tactics to cow the populace.
		The CSA president is not a likable man and freedom lovers will despise him but the audience will understand that many of his constituents want him in office so that he can turn their country around and make it a world power.

		Jake Featherston and his militant Freedom Party finally win power in the Confederacy, and begin their unstoppable push to exact vengeance upon the CSA's fls and the United States of America.
		Turtledove has almost done away with telling his stories as personal vignettes and has decided instead to just 'push' history along without bothering to 'push' his characters along and truly show us their triumphs and tragedies in any emotional detail.
		Turtledove's books are always intellectually stimulating, but he does seem to have a blindspot regarding logic, as this problem, actions defying the laws of logic laid down in his own universe, is one that seems to permeate his writing.

	Harry Turtledove: The Center Cannot Hold
		Harry Turtledove continues to chronicle the post-war history of the United States and the Confederate States in American Empire: The Center Cannot Hold.
		In the Confederacy, Turtledove’s choice of point of view characters continues to make the Freedom Party appear much stronger than he claims it is throughout the novel.
		Furthermore, Turtledove’s proclivity for killing off viewpoint characters means that those characters most sympathetic to some readers cease to be able to offer a porthole into the world.

		It's like Turtledove thinks that his readers don't have the attention span to keep all of his characters straight.
		Turtledove is not afraid to kill off some of his characters, so it's nice that you don't quite know who's going to survive and who's going to live.
		Turtledove also spends time developing his next set of characters who will carry the next series, with the sons and daughters of our well-known characters finally getting their time on stage so we can get to know them.

	Review of Harry Turtledove Settling Accounts
		What Harry Turtledove seems to be able to do so well is to make it all so believable, as any good author should, of course, and not just a slight reworking of actual events.
		There's the Canadian freedom fighter / terrorist attempting to rid her homeland of the occupying USA forces.
		Harry Turtledove does not dwell on whether or not he likes to dabble with water colours, oils or any other media for that matter.

		I could have wished that Turtledove had done as he did in "Guns of the South" and published the election returns, state by state, for his US election of 1920 and CSA election of 1921.
		Jake Featherson, leader of the Freedom Party emerges as the Hitler character with his complete takeover of the Confederate government and insane designs on its citizens that oppose him.
		Turtledove's copious use of a particular racial epithet commonly called "the 'N' word." I don't generally object to the use of such language if it advances plot or character development, but Mr.

	Below The Beltway » Harry Turtledove
		In the tenth volume of Harry Turtledove’s Timeline-191 series, the United States finally get the chance to turn the tide on Jake Featherston’s Confederate States of America.
		When we last left the world that Harry Turtledove has crafted in seven books starting with How Few Remain, the Confederacy, firmly in control of Jake Featherston and the Freedom Party was launching its Operation Barbarossa-like attack on the United States and war was once again returning to the North American continent.
		Harry Turtledove could have just as easily titled this final volume of the American Empire series The Triumph of Evil, because that is exactly the story unfolds over the seven years that the story that unfolds covers.

	Review -- Blood and Iron by Harry Turtledove
		The central planks of his Freedom Party platform include returning Negros to "their place" (in other words, legalized subjugation little better than slavery) and revenge against the wealthy political families who are perceived as having betrayed the Confederate cause.
		Although there are plenty of parallels with post-WWI Europe of our own world, Turtledove does not simply produce a cheap recasting of that period.
		For instance, although Jake Featherston bears many similarities to Adolf Hitler and the Freedom Party can be compared to the Nazis, one cannot simply go down the line of his followers and equate them with Goering, Hess, Himmler, etc.
