In at the Death (Settling Accounts, Book Four)

Set against a backdrop of an alternate American history, the narrative unfolds with Franklin Roosevelt as the assistant secretary of defense while Thomas Dewey campaigns for the presidency alongside Harry Truman. The story depicts a fractured nation where a secession war leads to chaos and a haunting holocaust in Texas, all while Britain clings to a fraught alliance with the USA's adversaries. Harry Turtledove crafts a gripping tale that explores themes of power, conflict, and the consequences of historical divergence.
