Query: Poorly thought-out, foolishly pro-Confederate

Turtledove insists on portraying the U.S. as completely incompetent in all matters military. Not only is the peace he hypothesizes better than the South could have hoped for, he refuses to give the Union any credit for the ability rectify their errors.Most disappointing is the author's choices for positions of authority in the Union army. Pope, Wilcox and Rosecrans could not have held pride of place over John Reynolds. This is but the most glaring example.Lastly, the writing lacked the punch that I am used to from Turtledove.
