1920: America's Great War by Robert Conroy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Taking as his starting point a German victory in the Battle of the Marne that led to German hegemony over much of the world, Robert Conroy weaves a fantastic tale of alternative history. The action centers around a joint Mexican/German invasion of the southern US, specifically Texas and California.
While the primary point of view characters are all inventions of Conroy the book is peppered with real characters from our own history such as Patton, MacArthur, Pancho Villa, and others who live quite different lives in this timeline. Conroy's versions of these characters remains true to our historical understandings of their personalities though.
This is a fantastic book and is sure to please any and all lovers of alternative history!
