Book Description
Harry Turtledove’s remarkable alternative history novels brilliantly remind us of how fragile the thread of time can be, and offer us a world of “what if.” Drawing on a magnificent cast of characters that includes soldiers, generals, lovers, spies, and demagogues, Turtledove returns to an epic tale that only he could tell–the story of a North American continent, separated into two bitterly opposed nations, that stands on the verge of exploding once again.
In 1914 they called it The Great War, and few could imagine anything worse. For nearly three decades a peace forged in blood and fatigue has held sway in North America. Now, Japan dominates the Pacific, the Russian Tsar rules Alaska, and England, under Winston Churchill, chafes for a return to its former glory. But behind the façade of world order, America is a bomb waiting to go off. Jake Featherston, the megalomaniacal leader of the Confederate States of America, is just the man to light the fuse.
In the White House in Philadelphia, Socialist President Al Smith is a living symbol of hope for a nation that has been through the fires of war and the flood tides of depression. In the South, Featherston and his ruling Freedom Party have put down a Negro rebellion with a bloody fist and have interned them in concentration camps. Now they are determined to crush their Northern neighbor at any cost.
Featherston’s planes attack Philadelphia without warning. The U.S.A. lashes back blindly at Charleston. And a terrible second coming is at hand. When the CSA blitzkrieg is launched, the U.S.A. is caught flat-footed. Before long, the gray Army reaches Lake Erie. But in its wake the war machine is spinning a vortex of destruction, betrayal, and fury that no one, not even Jake Featherston himself, can control.
Now, President Smith faces a Herculean task, while an obscure assistant secretary of war named Roosevelt rises in his ranks. For the U.S.A., the darkest days still lay ahead. Across the globe, a new era of war has just begun. And in the hands of the incomparable Harry Turtledove, readers are treated to a masterful vision of what might have been. An enduring portrait of history, nations, and human nature in its many manifestations, Return Engagement is a monumental journey into the second half of the twentieth century.

Return Engagements Settling Accounts.......2007-08-23
Harry Turtledove does an awesome job in recreating an alternate history. A must for the Science fiction fan who can read a story under "What if this really happened?"
This is a great read !!!.......2007-07-21
It's about time Turtledove sent the Confederacy into the U.S.A. to exact some much needed retribution for the unlikely defeat they put on them in the Great War books that he wrote. Now lets see how far the Southerners will take their punnishment to the U.S.
Featherston's Vengeance.......2006-11-02
It's June 22, 1941 -- the day Jake Featherston had waited almost 25 years for. His hatred and loathing for the United States of America ran so strong, he didn't bother to issue a declaration of war, but instead let his bombers and artillery do the announcing for him. His armored forces and air force push north toward the Great Lakes as if they had the hosts of hell behind them, shooting or blowing up every U.S. soldier and barrel in their path. The Confederate States of America will put the Yankees in their place, so help them God -- or so Featherston declares. And even while General Patton leads the Confederates through Ohio, dark events occur in the swamps of the Deep South. For Jake Featherston is carrying out a different sort of revenge on a different foe -- an entire race of people. When a concentration camp commandant comes up with a radical idea, Featherston is obscenely delighted over this final solution to the Confederacy's problem with its black population...
A great beginning to Turtledove's alternate Second World War tetralogy. The War begins on page one (well, the very last page of the preceding volume, to be precise) and gets worse and worse with each passing page. When chemical weapon attacks and mass murders are already happening in book one, who can guess what will be happening in the final book. And Turtledove brings it off convincingly in an American setting.
The only problem I had was that the war seemed to slow down quite a bit during the middle third of the book -- between Al Smith's radio reply to Featherston's speech and MacArthur's Virginia offensive. But that was a minor annoyance, and not enough to greatly disturb my attitude toward this book. A definite set-up to a different World War II, for sure.
"Flabbling" Waste of Time.......2006-07-15
Being a fan of another alt-hist writer I thought I'd give Harry Turtledove a try. Maybe I should have started with an earlier novel, but I went for a more recent work assuming the author would have developed his writing skill.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I thought "Settling Accounts" was a humorless bore with stilted plot development and empty characterizations. Even the cliffhanger ending sputtered out with a yawn. The in-your-face constant use of the "n" word,especially in combination with Turtledove's idiotic, parallel universe bending concept of "population reduction," is a straight up insult to every American, black or white, who lives in the South. Perhaps the author hoped those sentiments would stimulate thought and provoke discussion of the subject of racial inequality in the United States, but I found the novel far too juvenile to consider this within the realm of literary exploration. It was simply ugly.
Darn, I was hoping to have a new author to follow.
Paid by the word?.......2006-07-01
I really enjoy the story Turtledove is telling in this series, but it seems a little bit as though he is getting paid by the word. No, it seems more than a little bit like he is getting paid by the word. In fact, it seems a lot like he is getting paid by the word.(getting the picture?) And how many times does he need to go on (and on and on) about a character who sunburns easily smearing zinc oxide on his nose, or what each character was doing two novels ago every time he brings them back into the story. Turtledove does a geat job with the alternate history part and the "if this happened this way then this would be like this", I just think it could be a much faster(and better) read if it wasn't weighted down with so much repitition and unnecessary dialogue.

More of the same, for better or for worse........2006-04-18
Return Engagement is the first of the Settling Accounts trilogy, which is the latest in the Great War series. The series started back in 1998 with the publication of How Few Remain, which is by far the best of the whole series. Then followed the Great War series (American Front, Walk in Hell, and Breakthroughs) from 1998-2000, detailing a very different First World War. THEN we had the American Empire trilogy (Blood and Iron,The Center Cannot Hold, and The Victorious Opposition) in 2001-2003.
Now it's time for the Settling Accounts trilogy. Return Engagement starts with the death of a character I had long hoped would just die, so I was happy. Another character I had wondered about survived. I'm still not sure whether to be happy for this one or not.
The book starts with the attack everyone (except the US government, apparently) saw coming. Jake Featherston, the Hitler-character in this reality, invades Ohio from newly-Confederate Kentucky-blitzkreig-style. Things progress fairly predictably after that-the Confederacy gains territory, the US is in a panic, characters who were in the army in the last series consider re-enlisting to fight the Confederacy. Each aspect of World War II in our time-line is duplicated somehow in this alternate history-which is annoying.
I stopped reading Turtledove's Darkness series because it was obviously World War 2 with magic. Now he's shifted World War II to North America, replacing Nazi Germany with the CSA, and the Jewish Holocaust with... well, some might consider that telling, though anyone who has read the previous offerings (or even thinks about the history of the Confederacy in our own history) could figure it out.
The characterizations are the same. We read about the same sailor who is perpetually sunburnt (and we're always reminded of this whenever the poor guy has to go somewhere hot-I started wishing he'd spend time in the North Atlantic, just to get a change of exposition!), the same saboteur in Canada, the same American lawyer-turned-fighter pilot. Morrel (guess who HE represents in our time line!) is still an under-appreciated tank commander whose ideas are ignored by those in charge. Dowling is still living in Custer's shadow, years after the latter's death. Nothing has changed.
The only reason I keep reading these books is that I want to see the series through. I've spent so much time with these characters that I want to find out how Turtledove translates what happened in our own Second World War to their history. I also enjoy the jokes Turtledove throws in, and the oblique references to our own history. The plot moves in this book, better than in previous offerings, but it's a bit predictable if you have studied World War II at all.
I own a lot of Turtledove. Worldwar, Colonization, Great War, American Empire-I have them all, most in hardback. But I think I'll be reading this series from the library, and save my money for the next coveted stand-alone novel, or the sequel to Days of Infamy.
How long will the readers put up with this garbage?.......2005-09-26
I've had it!! I have put up with Turtledove's idiocy for a long time now, with the hope that he would finally come up with something of substance. This book, however is just one more example of a decrepit and useless formula. I'm sure he has graduate students chained to their desks pumping out this drech. Turtldove's books are truly an insult to the reader--mindless dialogue and endless repititions. I think he is trying to prove that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (he is Jewish, you know) are valid and that he can make money from them by suckering in an unsuspecting public.
I saw it all coming in '98.......2005-09-23
I started reading HOW FEW REMAIN back in '97 or '98 but gave up from frustration with the character problems people are still complaining about in this book. Back in '98, I predicted just about every basic story point in this series: the sides taken in WWI, who would win, the rise of a fascist Confederacy, black holocausts, etc. I can't believe its actually all come to pass. I find the black death camps to be in particularly bad taste; the thought is disgusting and offensive.
I also find most of it to be completely unrealistic. Turtledove displays a complete lack of understanding in American history.
Even if the USA and CSA did fight subsequint wars against each other after the 1861 war, they would have too many economic and cultural ties to maintain a belligerant stance for very long. Co-dependency (not unlike the current Canada-USA-Mexico relationship) would be far more likely.
The idea of an extremist political philosophy, right or left, taking hold in this country is completely against the American character, which would continue to survive in both the North and an independent South had the Civil War ended differently. The primary characteristic of the American nation is an independent spirit rooted in the seemingly endless availability of land (represented today in the popularity of the automobile and the high rate of home ownership in the States). Authoritarian collectivist ideaologies (both nationalist-fascist and socialist-communist) have never held much sway in this country for this reason. Karl Marx and Frederick Engels wrote in the late nineteenth century that the existance of the United States was the greatest threat to their (idiotic) ideas of a socialist proletariat utopia because it was essentially a middle-class nation where the very idea of social class was greatly diminished compared to the rest of the world. Its very being contradicted everything they wrote.
Besides if an authoritarian regime did arise in North America, I propose it would be more likely in the USA than CSA. The independent spirit was even stronger in the agrarian, aristocratic South than in the urban, industrialized North. Collectivist Socialist and Communist parties at the turn of the century were more successful in the upper Midwest and in the elite circles of the Northeast than anywhere in the South. Besides, the Confederacy was after all a "confederation." By definition, it was eleven independent states united for the purpose of a common defense. This was Jeff Davis's number-one problem with waging the war. NC's governor Zeb Vance, for example, refused to send troops and supplies to Tennessee; and Davis's harshest critics railed against his centralizing or nationalizing. My point here is the Confederacy would have completely collapsed into many independent republics long before a fascist dictator could arise.
For that matter, if the US had let the South go, the United States would have ceased to exist at all. New York City, New Jersey, California, Oregon, New England, and Utah all considered secession for various reasons between 1845 and 1860. It was only the war which ended this; so as soon as the South was allowed to go, away goes New York City, followed by California or some such place. The United States may have vanished into as many as twenty independent republics. This does not even take into account if the United States would have been able to maintain its hold over the Sioux, Apache, or the many other Indian tribes.
As for the black holocaust, I don't even want to go there.
Great concept, mediocre execution.......2005-09-22
Because I love Turtledove's idea of a divided nation existing into the 20th century, I devoured this book. I just wish I didn't have to grimace as much as I did. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed how Turtledove repeats the same facts over and over again, leaves out crucial or interesting details (like troop counts and world events), gives weird names to common technologies (what's he going to call the jet engine? the air exploder?) and continues developing (or failing to develop) weak characters, like Chester Martin and Scipio. Yeah, he needs these fictional characters to capture the true struggle of the common man, but I think most of us want to see how the big dogs would react to this world. We had so many great leaders come from this era, like Eisenhower, Marshall, Nimitz, King, Halsey, Bradley, and Hap Arnold. If he cut out most of the repetitive facts, he'd have plenty of room for these men.
I don't mind him paralleling his alternate history to real history, though. Yeah, it seems kind of lazy, but as a critique of ourselves 60 years ago, it strikes home the point that as far as our social sensibilities went, not a whole lot kept us from falling over the edge and allowing extremism to flourish on our own soil. A scary thought. It's just that if he really wanted to parallel history, you'd think he'd start the war in 1939 or 40 so the "warmongers" could vote the appeasing Al Smith out of office a la Prime Minister Chamberlain and allow a real leader like FDR to take over.
All in all, it's obvious that this is the final chapter in an American civil war allowed to last over 80 years, and I look forward to see how it resolves itself and if a battered, morally drained Confederacy finally rejoins the USA just as Germany and Japan joined the free world in our history.
My final pet peeve: Why would Churchhill, whose mother was an American from NY, be anti-USA?
One more war.......2005-09-15
Harry Turtledove returns to two of his favorite alternate history topics: the American Civil War and World War Two, is "Settling Accounts: Return Engagement."
Under command of Gen. George Patton, the Confederates have swarmed into the United States, storming across the Ohio River, into Ohio, effectively cutting the United States in half. Gen. Abner Dowling is unable to stem the Confederate tide, and is recalled to Washington in disgrace to face hearings. Meanwhile, the Mormons once again revolt in Utah, and terrorism looms in Canada.
By now, we know most of the faces in this drama, though a few drop out, including the surprising choice to kill off Anne Colleton, one of the more interesting characters in the story.
The action is good, there's sufficient human elements to the story, and the overall stragety is thought out well enough. The biggest downer though is that it's too much of a recast of World War Two, with a Hitler-analogy and all that came with it.
Still, it's worth the read, and I just got my copy of Drive to the East today.

This book neatly ties everything "New Age" together........2006-05-05
If you've been reading lots of new age information and like me couldn't get how our bodies relate to the earth's electromagnetic fields & pole shifts, and how those in turn relate to 3rd dimension vs. 4th, and what ascended masters can do with these fields, how sacred geometry relates to all this, how the dolphins and Native Americans could be more advanced with less technology, and what the heck they all mean by "All the answers are within you" give this a read. This is the first book I have read by this author and while his info does not seem to be channeled from a higher source, it *does* seem to tie all the channeled info together. In fact, I cannot imagine any other way to make sense out of it all. You'll love this book if you've read anything by Ramtha, it explains some of the science of it all, although it is quite a few scientific steps up beyond Conversations. He gets much of his info from Drunvalo Melchizedek, and makes some sense out of him, which is respectable. (and I never have read Seth so I am not sure where it would be in relation to that.) Although it seems that fans of his tune in to hear UFO stories - and they pop up here and there in the book - if you are advanced in New Age information, you can easily overlook any hype surrounding them and view them as just another race as we usually do with everything else. Very, very informative to the point where you end up doubting your sanity for a couple days after reading it, until it sinks in and you decide which theories make sense (and most of them do).
Entertainment Only........2005-09-18
Hard to believe that many objective points in this book are "true" but since we're all creating our own reality you might get some neat ideas from this book. Then again you might not. I'm a sucker for multidimensional travel, and holograms just like the next guy but for some reason "Ascended Masters" always send up a red flag. Bob seems have gone the new age route this time, which is always a bad sign, but if you can sift through some crap there is some very interesting ideas about different types of consciousness from indigenous peoples to the coming golden age. So if this book falls out of a dimensional hole in the sky and into your hands, might as well check it out.
Wrap Your Head Around This.......2003-01-04
This is a hard review to write for the same reason that this is a good book to read. What's it all about? How much of it do I buy into? It's a trip. I read and enjoy Bob Frissell's books because as Bob Dylan once said, "I know there's something happening here, but I don't know what it is." Frissell's books are all brimming over with bizarre information about the "true" nature of the Universe and this one is no different. It talks about sacred geometry, ascended Masters, Christ Consciousness, Martians, Sirians, different dimensions, Bible Codes, the pineal gland, rebirthing, the Fall of Atlantis, the Secret Government, the Greys, Thoth, Ra and the boys from Egypt and Luciferian consciousness among many other juicy topics.
Have you ever tried wrapping your head around the Universe...I mean just the concept of a Uni-verse? Then think about microcosm and macrocosm, about energy and love, about the subtle bodies and different planes of existence. How about "I Am"? OM. How about co-creating that Universe? Well, if you're reading this review, you probably have. This book, like the two preceding it, Nothing In This Book Is True and Something in This Book Is True, are point blank discussions about many different so-called New Age topics, frankly stated and without a lot of extraneous fluff, and they contain much material that has been delivered to Frissell by an exulted being of an order known as the Melchizedeks, by the name of Drunvalo Melchizedek, himself an interesting author. Basically, it's the lowdown on the evolution of the human race in the grand scheme of the evolution of the planet and the solar system and the Universe itself. I find it enormously entertaining and thought-provoking and I actually do feel that much of it is true, as embarassing as that would be to admit in many circles within which I travel. I mean it's just so "out there". But then, I'm a person who, based on my own observations, personally believes that birds can travel inter-dimensionally. Think how tickled I was to read in this book that Bob thinks dolphins can do the same thing! Wow.
In order to become more fully actualized and to help our planet make the shift into higher consciousness Bob recommends some breathing and meditating techniques which I have not tried. That's the thing, I guess, all this crazy stuff IS just too much for me to really integrate. When I read the fascinating quantum physics parts of his book, I am just zipping along out there in the cosmos and I'm following it and I can see myself as a geometric form of energy, the totality of Being and at the same time but an aspect of Being, shifting my identity from that of a human victim to being a spiritual Master and then I gotta put the book down and watch The Weakest Link on TV. I guess I'm still just a third dimensional spud, but I love these books. Check this one out.
I bought this book because I liked the cover!.......2002-12-29
Now, is that a reason to buy a book? Well, I started to read it and it hit some chords, like: I knew that, didn't I? That sounds familiar, but why? And then, near the end, I became angry because I knew I've always believed this, but didn't know how to put it into play. So, I threw the book across the room. The very next day a friend started talking to me about everything in the book - and she didn't even know I was reading it! So, there you have it: this book started me on a really interesting journey. If you have trouble with it, just wait, but definitely read it. Bob's style is very different. He just puts it right out there, take it or leave it. (If you try to leave it, it will follow you, so just take it...)Seriously, if you find yourself drawn to this book, I recommend it.
rehashed.......2001-08-18
I have read Bob Frissell's other books and they were both way better than this book. It is the information from the other summarized and written very poorly. The only new information was about "indigo children" and finding codes in certain holy writings which was thoroughly uninteresting. Don't waste your money on this rehashed book. The cover is the best thing about it. Buy Nothing In This Book Is True and Something ITBIT.
