"The question 'What if the South had won the Civil War?' is one that has long fascinated and intrigued historians and enthusiasts of Americ an history. (This book) explores that very question, revealing exactly how history could have been dramatically altered forever. Each chapter, written by a leading military historian, plays out a series of convincing scenarios, based on real battles, actions and characters, where at points of decision a different choice or minor incident sets in motion an entirely new train of events which could ultimately have led to a Confederate victory. What if Sherman had been stalled outside Atlanta, or Lincoln had lost the crucial 1864 election? Or if Stuart's Cavalry at Gettysburg had arrived in time to give Lee the freedom of operation he lacked in reality? These and many more thought-provoking questions are examined against the dramatic and colourful backdrop of this critical and bloody era of American history."
