I found Sharra’s effort on the Korean War very entertaining and enlightening. It prompted me to study more seriously about that conflict. I think good historical fiction serves a purpose when it engages those who would otherwise not be engaged. Its a start.I've read it a couple of times; very entertaining and worth a read (or re-read). If you like Historical Fiction, I would recommend anything by Jeff Shaara. As well as completing the trilogy his father, Michael started with "The Killer Angels", Jeff has penned a 4-volume series on WWII and one taking place in the Korean War. I would recommend any (or all) of these.
The book in question by Turtledove is more fantasy than historical fiction. Fun for those of us who are buffs.
