A Nation Interrupted
“An exhilarating ride through an alternate history.”
—GEORGE GALDORISI, New York Times bestselling author
THE YEAR IS 1862, IN A WORLD THAT VERY NEARLY WAS...
In one of the most unsettling “what-if” reversals to American history, the Union Army is overrun at the Battle of Antietam. Left with no alternative, President Lincoln surrenders, and the Confederate States of America becomes an independent nation. It’s a tragic twist that will produce dire, far-reaching ramifications.
As the divided American nations move into the twentieth century, slavery has long since been abolished; but in the summer of 1941, America faces another challenge—an existential challenge. Almost a century after the Civil War, the disastrous consequences of the Union defeat are threatening freedom on both sides of the Atlantic.
The Second World War represents the defining event of the twentieth century. History dictates the United States must play the decisive role in defeating Adolf Hitler and the Nazis—but that history is no longer intact. America has been divided into two nations, and the resulting shift in global power has altered the course of the conflict, bringing all of North America and Western Europe to the brink of annihilation.
In the spring of 1945, as the Nazis are preparing to deliver the final blow, a young academic and a small, elite group of American airmen are about to determine the fate of the world.
FREEDOM’S VERY SURVIVAL IS COMING DOWN TO ONE, LAST-DITCH MISSION.

About the author
Kevin McDonald
2 books4 followersAfter earning a journalism degree from the University of Texas at Austin, KEVIN McDONALD was commissioned into the United States Navy in 1982. Two years later, he graduated at the top of his flight-school class and spent the next eight years flying as a naval aviator.
In 1992, during the drawdown that followed the First Gulf War, he left the Navy and became a public-safety helicopter pilot for Travis County STAR Flight in Austin, Texas. By the time his career ended in 2012, he had flown more missions, logged more hours, and completed more rescues than any pilot in the history of the program.
His first book, LIFE INSIDE THE DEAD MAN'S CURVE, is a white-knuckle narrative about his thirty-five-year career in the cockpit. His latest book, A NATION INTERRUPTED, is a thrilling fictional ride through a divergent 20th century and was a 2020 Dragon Award finalist for Best Alternate History Novel.
Now retired from flying, he lives with his wife in Austin, where he continues to write about his two greatest passions--aviation and history.

An amazing amount of detail about aerial combat that is due to the author's expertise.

Enjoyable alternate history book that the last half I just couldn’t put down. Love the take on one single moment changing the entire history of the nation. In a time that’s scary as it is now, just seeing and envisioning what could have been during the WW2 era really is a bit of a reality check. Really enjoyed it.

amazing book. loved the alternate history of the Civil War and World War 2
August 11, 2024
Insanely unreadable. I love alternate history, but this is just too poorly written. It’s like a history book written by a boring professor with minimal writing skills. Plus it’s totally derivative, selecting the Battle of Antietam as its pivot point, exactly like Turtledove did in his epic Timeline 191 series.

(Audiobook) An interesting alternative history, noting that the failure of the Union soldiers to get the special Confederate order to the Union command in proper time before the battle of Antietam not only led to the end of the US as a unified nation, but also set the stage for the US and CSA being too weak to deal with a Nazi invasion in 1941. Eventually, the US did manage to use nuclear weapons to defeat the Nazis, but not after some significant cost. The author demonstrates some good technical and historical knowledge, especially from a military perspective. However, some of the other aspects are up for debate, like the idea that slavery would have died a natural death in the Confederacy. That may not have happened quite so easily. Also, the story telling was ok, but a bit simplistic and formulaic.
Overall, some good facts to be gleamed from this work, and it has a summer, beach read feel, in that it is engaging, interesting, and once it is done, you move on to something else. The rating is the same for audiobook as hard-copy/e-copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read All About It!
Wow! What a read! Exhilarating indeed to borrow from George Galdorisi. Kevin McDonald does it again! After reading his, "Life Inside The Dead Man's Cure," I could not put it down after Chapter 2. But Look-Out! This book is a tad longer, so Set the Time Aside! Must have been those exciting Austin "Star Flight" helicopter pilot days that helped propel this story and his UT journalism days. Kevin is a gifted, wonderful writer. It's like Great Expectations; each character is well developed, and you're craving to learn more about them. His word selection, perfect grammar, and meticulous attention to descriptive details makes this a real page turner!
And what if?! Kevin's twist on history gave me great pause. Much like our country right now -- a nation interrupted -- over Covid-19. His book is relevant today! Read it!
Here is hoping Kevin enjoys his upcoming movie consulting as much as he enjoys writing.

September 1862: Confederate scouts notice a Union courier riding at high speed. Taking their shot, they drop the rider and investigate as to what’s so important. Turns out that General Lee’s orders for a drive toward Washington via Maryland have been intercepted! Taking advantage of the Union belief that they know what Lee is doing, Lee instead alters his plans and achieves a critical victory, marching on Washington and forcing Lincoln to acknowledge the independence of the Confederate States of America. Humiliated and financially weakened by defeat, the postwar Union fails to live up to its manifest destiny seize colonies hither and yon from Spain, not to mention throw its weight around in the New World and create the Panama Canal. And now….let’s fastforward to World War 2 which begins the same exact way with the same exact European and Japanese characters, for some reason. A Nation Interrupted is a “what if” take on World War 2 that uses some consequences of Southern independence to tell a very different, darker, and increasingly nonsensical version of the war. The story is compelling despite the premises not being so.
World War 2 unfolds here very differently because Spain is still in possession of Cuban and Puerto Rico, which gives Germany the option of deploying from there with the aim of capturing the northern shipping ports (especially New York) that keep sending American material to England.. Hitler, his obsession with the Soviet Union somehow marginalized, decides to focus on the two Americas — the Union first, and then the South once Truman and Eisenhower — outraged by this German aggression against the CSA’s brother-country — declare war in solidarity. Because Hitler is evidently not wasting men and material in Africa and Greece (they’re never mentioned), and more importantly not invading Russia, he has plenty of forces to throw at the ill-prepared American states, who look toward The Bomb as their only hope of salvation.
On the plus side, I was completely absorbed by this story, largely for the original minor characters — a pilot who volunteered for the RAF, then resigned to fight for the US, as well as several Jewish characters who bear witness to Hitler’s ‘final solution’ being enacted in New York and Boston, using Ryker’s and Hart Island as labor & death camps. (A very young Carl Sagan and possibly Asimov would have been caught up in this, unless Asimov managed to escape the Naval base in Maryland before the Nazis took it.) I rather liked the idea of the two American nations existing in perfect peace, not becoming bitter foes like they did in Turtledove’s “Order191/How Few Remains” series, which also begins with an Antietam surprise. There are also a couple of nods to how history would change under these circumstances: we witness part of a Brooklyn Dodgers / Boston Braves game, since in this reality the Boston team never moved to Atlanta. (Actually, that makes me wonder: given that baseball became nationally popular in part due to the Civil War, does that mean the South is baseball-less?) There’s a lot more questions, though. This ranges from minor details like Sherman tanks having that name (Sherman who?) to the global situation in general. Why did the northern Union enter the Great War, and how could it have possibly had the same effect on the peace as it did in our own lifetime, given it had less population to work with? We’re told slavery was phased out and formally abolished in the 1880s, but what does that mean for how African-Americans adjusted to citizenship? The only black character we see is a janitor in the north, though he plays a critical role. Why was Japan hostile toward a United States that has never involved itself in that hemisphere, and WHAT WAS THE SOVIET UNION DOING THIS ENTIRE TIME? And that’s not even going to the ending of the war, which….. I don’t want to spoil but I kind of do....

An outstanding book by Kevin McDonald, and a work of numerous tremendous qualities, from an author who is highly educated in his subject matter, as well as superbly eloquent. McDonald undoubtedly knows his local, geo-political and military history, and whilst the factual elements of the story are presented well and worth reading about on their own, he conspicuously manages to achieve what others frequently attempt and fall short at: presenting a highly plausible alternative history timeline, and what could very easily be the genuinely most probable outcome of the skew.
In McDonald’s scenario, just one single decision by a shamed Union soldier, in the American civil war, leads what is otherwise destined to become the United States toward a totally different future. Like the ripples in the butterfly effect, the consequences become more and more embedded in the new world dynamic, ultimately changing the whole course of World War Two, over 80 years later. I have to be honest: I was utterly engrossed, and couldn’t wait to find out the fate in store for North America and the world under Hitler’s rampaging campaign. Ordinarily I find alternative histories of Nazi domination, particularly those which involve invading the United States, to be a little sensationalist and gung-ho, as if the authors are desperately trying to write a fanciful version of their country’s part in the war. But, here is where this author stands out for me; Hitler’s strategic motivation for crossing the Atlantic, taking the fight and all the atrocities onto U.S. soil is not frivolous in this alternative timeline – it is both credible and, in fact, very likely a course of action he would have opted for. A Nation Interrupted is not an actioner; it is an intelligent wartime political thriller, vivid, ambitious and grand in scale. There is no glitter, just the sheen of quality throughout – this book is the real deal; a serious work of organic quality, which seamlessly blends fact and fiction. The era and setpieces feel real and authentic, while the author’s knowledge and presentation of American history, and that of the world, is the real star of the book; McDonald knows intimately the strategies, tactics and terminology of warfare and military engagement in differing eras, from a political viewpoint.
Ultimately, though, it is a celebration of America’s rich migrant culture, and the might of its collective warmth in the face of despicable provocation. In the second half, the book becomes perhaps a tiny bit more standard, with its narrative of Nazi occupation and the committal of atrocities against the Jewish population of New York – there is even a growing resistance movement – and if just coming into the book at this point you could mistake the setting for 1940s France or Belgium, with all the vivid descriptions of the genuinely nightmarish scenario of invasion. There are a few heroics in the latter part of the book, but ultimately the finale is exactly the one you would expect in this fantasy timeline, which uniquely manages to remember all the small details of things which actually did happen, and probably still would have. Its sense of full circle is a satisfying one. Exceptionally well written and researched, with its immense attention to detail and a continuous consciousness of its own credibility, this is a real triumph; highly recommended.

3.5?
Ok, so the premise is that in an alternate timeline there is a stalemate in the civil war and so two nations develop rather than one. Makes sense. BUT for the first section, the only real key difference is… different currencies? The confederacy gives up slavery on its own after a few years? Not convincing… two very different cultures, economies, mindsets, and also it ignores the West Coast. So, not very convincing.
The fact that two nations are weaker than one makes sense and that Hitler exploits this via Cuba and Puerto Rico a la Spain also makes sense. But I think that the confederacy would react differently to a Nazi invasion. Maybe, maybe not.
The audiobook got really addictive to listen to was right around the Nazi invasion of NY. Once that happened, I couldn’t stop listening.
The end, though, had way too nice of a bow in it. There’s no way Rommel - or anyone - would have signed an unconditional surrender without US troops marching on Germany. And in the end, the two nations come together again anyway? Too pretty of a bow. It never would play out so cleanly.
Not the best alt-history book I’ve encountered but it certainly held its own.

Great "what if"
I absolutely love alternate reality books, especially when they are written not in the science-y science fiction style but rather as a fiction novel. As an teotwawki aficionado, this book gives me a double whammy. Great story, enjoyed it immensely BUT . . . it's Harry S (NO PERIOD because it doesn't stand for a name, it's simply "S") Truman (unless of course in this alternate reality universe his parents made a different choice lol). Research pays off 😉

This is an alternate history novel based on the South winning the Battle of Antietam and thus the Civil War. When World War II erupts, neither nation is prepared, and Hitler decides to invade the Americas instead of Russia. This novel is mainly about that war. The author uses short chapters based on specific dates to lay out the characters and the ensuing events. It was an enjoyable read, and to my fellow Alternate History fans, I recommend it

Appallingly bad
Just bloody horrible. Woefully written. A Turtledove knock-off of the worst possible kind.
Plot, dialogue, character development - they're all giant, steaming literary turds.
Avoid at all costs.
(Disclaimer. I'm not averse to reading trashy novels. But, this was a step too far. Even for my low standards).

A fun alternate history tale
Having grown up with the stories of Philip K. Dick and Harry Turtledove, I found A Nation Interrupted to be a fun and enjoyable read. From a strategic standpoint, Germany's actions might have worked in this strange alternate world! Would recommend this book to my fellow alternate history fans.

Really entertaining book and premise. The author did some serious homework to get the myriad historical facts woven into his new narrative. I like alternate history stories and this one was very good.

If only the author could have matched his great ideas up with a real writer, this could have been a fascinating read. He really tried, but it reads like someone trying hard to tell a story but the people keep getting in the way.

A page turner I could not put down. Premise that the Confederates and the United States are partners in stopping the advancement of the Nazi war machine during WWII. We know most of the players. No red herrings, just a in your face style. Enjoy!

Amazing
Initially, I had reservations regarding the plausibility of a plot involving a Nazi invasion of America. However, I was proven incorrect, and the author demonstrated remarkable skill in depicting such a conflict.
Overall, it is a commendable book.

An excellent alternative history, which i found quite believable and thoroughly engrossing. We little realize how very much hinges upon single moments in time. This presents the ‘what if’ one of those little moments had swung the other way.

Very Well Done
As a history teacher, I loved the way this book worked its way through the war. Took a very different, but much appreciated, approach than most other Alt-History novels to the relationship between the CSA and USA

Great read, fast paced thriller.
As a student of history and a native New Yorker, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It winds an alternative history with authentic details, creating a wonderful mix. I can see it as Netflix series easily.

This was a very good alternate history story, with lots of accurate info about the people and the war machines. A very enjoyable read. I would have loved to see the ending be more “alternate”; there was a bit of misfortune for the good guys, but they always won. I strongly recommend it.

Good telling of another history
Very good writing and detailed account of alternative history of WW2. Woven in the narrative is enough real history to make this chilling.

Quick Read
Short chapters made this novel a quick read. Didn't waste much time on in-depth character development as some other authors seem to do.

This book reads like a B-rate action movie. It is a waste of interesting premise. Still if you go in with the right expectations it is enjoyable in its own way.
