War is easy to start, but damn hard to end, - said the Duke of Wellington, who fought like no other in his lifetime. And even more civil war. Until now, the Civil War in the United States was known to the Russian reader mostly from the melodrama Gone with the Wind by M. Mitchell. Naturally, the brilliant science fiction writer Harry Harrison, who this time decided to experiment not with the future, but with the past, got a fundamentally different historical picture, because, based on real facts, he allowed himself an innocent prank - he slightly corrected the biography of a single person , - and the river of history flowed in a different direction.
