Drive to the East

By the summer of 1942, the American general MacArthur's push into Virginia has stalled, opening the way for the Confederacy's George Patton to drive north from Ohio toward Pittsburgh in a fast-moving armored offensive. As Union commander Irving Morrell scrambles to hold the line, the war's uglier machinery keeps grinding on other fronts: a Confederate camp commandant oversees the killing of Black prisoners, a resistance fighter tries to survive a ghetto ahead of deportation, and both sides quietly race toward the atomic bomb. Second book in Harry Turtledove's Settling Accounts tetralogy, continuing the Confederate-victory timeline begun in the Great War and American Empire series.
