Being a historical fiction fan, this one appealed to me. It was a "what-if" scenario at the Battle of Gettysburg, with the South winning instead of the North. In preparation for this discussion, I did a TON of research on what actually DID happen at Gettysburg, so when I read the novel I'd know what the turning points were. (This was back in 2004, so please forgive me for not enumerating them here!) I found it intriguing and so so grateful that the North did win, despite the immense number of casualties. I went to Gettysburg when I was 12 with my family, and driving around with my dad was incredibly bored. After reading this, I would LOVE to go back and bore my own children to death. : )
