American Empire picks up the Southern Victory saga after the Great War trilogy. Set between the wars, the three novels follow both the United States and the defeated Confederacy through economic collapse, political extremism, and the rise of dangerous leaders on both sides of the border.
The trilogy includes Blood & Iron (2001), The Center Cannot Hold (2002), and The Victorious Opposition (2003). Turtledove uses the interwar period to draw parallels with the rise of fascism in our own timeline, but transposed onto North America.
