Publisher Description
January 1864: General Robert E. Lee faces defeat. The Army of Northern Virginia is ragged and ill-equpped. Gettysburg has broken the back of the Confederacy and decimated its manpower.
Then, Andries Rhoodie, a strange man with an unplaceable accent, approaches Lee with an extraordinary offer. Rhoodie demonstrates an amazing rifle: its rate of fire is incredible, its lethal efficiency breathtaking—and Rhoodie guarantees unlimited quantities to the Confederates.
The name of the weapon is the AK-47 . . .

Great Book
Good storytelling, character writing, and general plot (taken from history of course lol). One of Turtledoves best books if I have my say.
The only bad reviews I’ve ever found are from people who dislike the characters saying the N word frequently (it’s historical, get over it) and who dislike the CSA winning in the fact of them having literal machine guns, AKA, people who don’t want to read the book to begin with.
Try it, and his other works, he’s a historian at heart and it shows.
