Fitzpatrick's War by Theodore Judson
4.0

post-apocalyptic/steampunk. Beautifully fleshed out world. Luddites have destroyed the technological world and have established a theocratic feudal autocracy. As always, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great characters and an interesting story structure (presented by a historian many year's after the event based on a found manuscript written by the title character's associate. The historian frequently annotates the story and offers his own opinions, hinting at the outcome of the story and its aftermath.
