Commentary During Books The Last Best Hope: A Civil War Era Alternate History

Historians have often asked, “What if the South had won at the Battle of Gettysburg?—what if, indeed?

1865: The South has won The Civil War; Robert E. Lee is President of the Confederate States of America; and Abraham Lincoln is paralyzed and a fugitive, protected by remnants of the defeated Union Army after being shot in the spine when Washington was sacked by the Rebels. Slavery is legal and has penetrated all sectors of the land that was once the United States of America. John Wilkes Booth, Nathan Bedford Forrest, and The Pinkertons all play a pivotal role in the shaping of the now permanently divided nation. Set in the oil boom area of Northwest Pennsylvania, THE LAST BEST HOPE follows the lives of Captain Ezekiel Edwards, Chastity Stottish, and others deeply impacted in the aftermath of both stunning victory and shameful defeat in a sweeping drama of romance, adventure, and hope for a better tomorrow.

Crit Of Books The Last Best Hope: A Civil War Era Alternate History

What a privilege it has been to work with author David L. Parrott on his fabulous novel THE LAST BEST HOPE - A CIVIL WAR ERA ALTERNATE HISTORY. I had never read an alternate history before and I was intrigued with the idea. What a pleasant surprise to find that it was a very believable, dramatic, and poignant tale of what life in the great United States of America might have been like if the Civil War had gone the other way. This is not a war story. It is a drama set in the oil boomtown of

Won this in a giveaway. I was excited about the subject matter and really wanted to like this book. Unfortunately, for me it was just OK. It had some good parts, but just wasn't what I was expecting. The book attempts to describe how life would be right after the Civil War if The South had won. The war is over, The South won, and Lincoln is crippled and in hiding. All has the potential for a great story, but it just doesn't pan out. The story just didn't flow for me and doesn't really pick up

I've read and watched several alternative histories of the Civil War and its aftermath over the years. This one started off pretty well and was a pleasant enough read, but it just felt like "fiction lite." It is more believable than some of Harry Turtledove's Civil War alternatives, if Confederate soldiers obtaining AK-47s seems a stretch to you. But Turtledove's writing is more polished. But if you like reading these types of stories, give it a whirl.



Originally posted at: http://www.longandshortreviews.blogsp...What if all you thought about the Civil War was a lie?History states that the Civil War ended in 1865 with the South surrendering. But with The Last Best Hope the reader is introduced to a world where the South hasn't fallen. In fact, the North surrendered. The concept is intriguing. What would've happened if the South got one last surge and won? What if Lincoln hadn't been assassinated? These are all interesting questions Parrott

While the book wasn't bad, it didn't give me the feeling that I needed to run out and buy my own copy right away. I'm still fairly skeptical about the alternate reality genre though and it could just be a byproduct of that hesitation.
