As good as Turtledove's work is, "The Great War: American Front" has some weaknesses. For one, there are far too many characters. Do we really need two different perspectives on the U.S. occupation of Canada? Do we really need so many looks at the war in the trenches? Sometimes characters tend to blend together, or they take time away from another whose story you may want to follow more closely. Also, this reader would have enjoyed longer looks at the naval aspects of this war. Historically, Theodore Roosevelt's interest in naval affairs was such to suggest that the U.S. Navy in 1914 would have been a formidable fighting force, quite the equal of the Royal Navy. The peeks at the naval dimensions of the war Turtledove grants his readers are too slight for my taste.
This reader would also enjoy a longer look at the political implications of the war. The US has a two-party system divided between the Democrats and Socialists. I would love to see how Turtledove might portray this at work. CSA President Woodrow Wilson and USA President Theodore Roosevelt make little more than cameo appearances, leaving the reader to wonder what the decision-making process of the two respective governments is actually like.
