If you're talking about the Guns of the South books by Harry Turtledove, it's not presented as a good thing. There are a series of wars that parallel late 19th and early 20th century Europe, with analogues to the Franco Prussian war (won by the South), WWI (won by the North), and WWII (both sides nuke each other and the North eventually wins). The South gets worse and worse, from a humanitarian perspective, and ends up with a Hitler analogue that Final Solutions black people in the South.

Also, while we're on Turtledove, one of those Russian books sounds remarkably like Guns of the South, which....I mean it's terrible, but how could you not buy a book with that cover

There are two books by turtledove the one youre talking about where theres some random divergence which sets this off which is called "how few remains"and another where a bunch of racists with AKs go back in time and give the confeds a bunch of assault rifles and intel which have the confeds win and Lee realizes that slavery is bad due to slave up risings.

Yeah, How Few Remains = long series of Civil War analogues Guns of the South = one-shot novel where South African militia types smuggle AKs back in time, don't realize what a Right Honorable Southern Gentleman that REL turned out to be

Every "lost cause" has a "what if *lost cause* actually won" book. Sometimes its an interesting thought exercise, sometimes its a "God I wish I could still legally own slaves" fantasy.

Also sounds like Zipang https://mangadex.org/title/9fd6f194-bf0b-4e8f-baa4-932b50ddff37/zipang In the year 200X, a Japanese fleet consisting of 3 vessels leave on a mission to South America. After encountering a storm, the ship JDS Mirai find itself without its escorts and in the year 1942, traveling towards the island of Midway to face the American fleet in one of largest battles in naval history. The crew of the Mirai must decide whether or not to change the course of history by involving itself in WWII.

Gratuitous sexual violence for no real reason against a black lesbian, a sailor complaining she hadn't managed to gently caress jfk yet, and the line "she was the best president this nation ever had". The ai implants that let the carrier fight a us task force to a standstill with the entire crew unconscious and some of the ships and crews philly experimented into each other was neat tho. Give me the ai implants so i can be productive even though im a pos please Edit: thinking back on it this book dealt with rape almost as much as a ringo novel Stravag fucked around with this message at 08:35 on Jun 13, 2022 |
