Newt Gingrich has released the third book in his alternative Civil War history series. The first book was Gettysburg, the second Grant Comes East, and now that last of the series, Never Call Retreat. Being a Civil War buff, I'm very interested to see how Gingrich wraps us his version of the war.
Just to give you an idea of the direction this series went, the first book assumes that the third day's battles at Gettysburg (the famous Pickett's charge) never happened and that Lee retreated from the field after the second day, thus preserving his army. From there Lee goes on an offensive that leads right to the gates of Washington D.C. I won't spoil the rest of it, but the authors did a great job of creating an alternative reality.
