The Guns of the South by Harry TurtledoveDescription: January 1864-General Robert E. Lee faces defeat. The Army of Northern Virginia is ragged and ill equipped. The battle of Gettysburg has broken the back of the Confederacy and decimated its manpower.
Then Andries Rhoodie, a strange man with an unplaceable accent, approaches Lee with an extraordinary offer. Rhoodie demonstrates an amazing rifle; its rate if fire is incredible, its lethal efficiency breathtaking-and Rhoodie guarantees unlimited quantities to the Confederates.
The name of the weapon is the AK-47.
The South wins the war...
