In "Stars and Stripes Forever", Harry Harrison began the story of the war that never was, but might so easily have happened: the war of the 1860s between the United States of America and the British Empire. It began with an ill-considered seizure of a British ship, escalated with an ill-considered letter to Abraham Lincoln, and continued with an ill-starred invasion of the territory of the USA by an incensed British government. The first modern war - with iron-clad ships, rapid-firing guns, trenches, mass armies and massive casualties, was taking place, not between the industrial northern states and the agricultural southern ones, but between the two great English-speaking nations, who happened also to be the two most powerful nations on the planet. In the stunning conclusion to this series, the Irish become involved and a most surprising ending is the culmination of the ill-fated war.

Recensione:
This pacy novel is an ingenious contribution to the burgeoning genre of "what if?" history.' (Mail on Sunday on STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER )

'Plausible as well as highly entertaining. Harrison does a masterful job of demonstrating how this became the first modern war, and changed forever the way nations conducted their affairs.' (Science Fiction Chronicle on STARS AND STRIPES )

'Verve and pace carry it through.' (Time Out on STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER )

'The tight writing and grasp of the period's technology is impressive.' (Yorkshire Post on STARS AND STRIPES )

'Harrison paints a graphic picture of the first modern war' (Bolton Evening News )

'Harrison introduces us to a diverse range of skilfully drawn characters. Their hopes; their aspirations; their obsessions: the human face behind a conflict of awesome maginitude.' (Enigma on STARS AND STRIPES TRUIMPHANT 20020601)

'One of science fiction's most prolific and accomplished craftsmen.' (New York Times Book Review 20020601)
L'autore:
Harry Harrison is one of the grand masters of science fiction. Besides his action stories - he is the creator of THE STAINLESS STEEL RAT - he has become a leading author of the alternate-world novel. An authority on the American Civil War, his REBEL IN TIME is an exciting look at a different possible ending to that war. In A TRANSATLANTIC TUNNEL, HURRAH! he takes a light-hearted look at a modern world where the Americans lost their 1776 revolution and Britain rules the world supreme. This trilogy examines the other side of that coin, a world in which America and Britain confront each other at the dawn of an era of mass destruction.
