Newt actually has six fiction books out. His Civil War trilogy, "Gettysburg," "Grant Comes East," and "Never Call Retreat," are so good I did something I almost never do, I've read them each more than once!

His new "Pearl Harbor" trilogy is not so good. Perhaps because I already had my own counter-factual book, to be out (I hope) this week, "Halsey's Bluff," in which the Japanese win the Battle of Midway, I didn't find them believable.

Also, if you want a lot of history woven in, without it dominating the story line, anything by Preston and Childs is great.

Oh, wow...Halsey losing Midway?! I’m not sure I’d want to live in a world where the Axis powers had won!

Unless you think we still would have pulled it out?

P.S. Thanks for the recommendations on Preston and Childs!
