It's 1941, and an alliance of peace holds in check the most powerful nations of the world — but it is an uneasy peace . Japan dominates the Pacific, the Russian tsar rules Alaska, and England, under Winston Churchill, chafes for a return to its former glory.

Behind this façade of world order, America is a bomb waiting to explode. Jake Featherston, the megalomaniacal leader of the Confederate States of America, is just the man to light the fuse. Opposite him is Al Smith, a Socialist US president in the Philadelphia White House. Smith is a living symbol of hope for a nation that has been through the hell of war and depression.
