Book Discussion with James Divine
Come listen to James Devine discuss his “alternative
history” novel in which the prosperous British Empire dominion called the United States of British America is
rocked when the Duke of Wellington arrives unexpectedly to announce that
Parliament is putting the finishing touches on emancipation legislation
scheduled to free all slaves held in the Empire---including the American South.
A colorful cast of historical characters, including Henry Clay, Daniel Webster,
Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Zachary Taylor and Martin Van Buren are joined
by vivid fictional characters.
