\ From the Publisher“When it comes to history, everyone loves to ask, ‘What if?’ No one does this better than Peter Tsouras, who explores one of the biggest ‘what ifs’ of the American Civil War, namely, what would have happened had Great Britain and France decided to take up arms against the Union in 1863? The result is a gripping narrative of battles from Maine to Louisiana, with even Washington under attack. New weapons and staunch presidential leadership might well hold the key to ultimate victory. To say more would spoil the story of familiar names in new places in a plot full of surprises that will hold the reader spellbound.”\ “The second volume of this trilogy brings the newly expanded war to the United States. Tsouras understands the dynamics of mid-nineteenth century armed forces. He presents a convincing strategic situation. He describes battles so vividly one can smell the gunpowder. He keeps historical exposition, situation-changing technologies, and fictional characters to a minimum. And he shifts scenes with a smooth mastery that sustains suspense and keeps the pages turning. A Rainbow of Blood is one hell of a good read!”\ \ \
