Summary: A Classic Is Back
Comment: A classic work of alternate history by award winning author William Sanders is back in print.
THE WILD BLUE AND THE GRAY follows Amos Ninekiller of the Cherokee Flying Corps through his experiences with the Confederate Expeditionary Force in France, 1916. As always with Sanders the historical and technical background is impeccable and the story is told with a sense of humor that never quite goes away even as the war becomes more hard fought and grim. WBG brings you back to the early days of aerial combat, when men fought each other in planes that were insanely dangerous to fly even under the best conditions, and shows the toll that war took on the men who fought it.
WBG is a great read as a straight ahead adventure, and is also a strong story of culture clash and the changing face of warfare and society in an alternate WWI. Anyone who is interested in alternate history, what it was like to fly and fight in an open cockpit plane, or just a damn good story should give THE WILD BLUE AND THE GRAY a read.
Rating: 4
Summary: A delightful read
Comment: I read this book many years ago, and have been looking to read it again for quite some time.
The author tells a wonderful story, and has created an excellent alternate history in which the Confederacy won the Civil War and became a separate nation.
I recommend this book to any and all that are interested in alternate history.
Rating: 4
Summary: Nice little alternative history
Comment: Amos Ninekiller is from the semi-independent Native American nation in a North America in which the Confederacy won its independence. He is an aviator during World War I.
The novel never goes deeply into the alternate history (a strength), and is entertaining. At times it's funny. If only as a view of early aviation, it's a worthwhile read.
