“How Few Remain” by Harry turtledove was a good book describing the world if the Confederate States of America had won the Civil War in 1862.

I also like Harry Turtledove’s alt-history books. Unfortunately, he does have a series where WWII came out differently-no A&A, horror of horrors! :D

I just finished an excellent book, called “Life Of Pi”. It doesn’t seem to fit in with the other books that have been suggested here, but it’s a good one! Very good storytelling.
