Yes, Dies the Fire is the name of the first book in the trilogy, by S. M. Stirling
There's a companion Trilogy by the same author, where as our world is changed and things stop working. The Island of Nantucket is sent back in time 4000 years, and all of their technology keeps working, and the survivors need to band together and try to forge a new world.
This guy is a historian as well as an author and there is a lot of historical detail written into his work, so there is a feel of authenticity that is lacking in most time travel schlock.
This is sounding more and more interesting. I'm definitely checking it out. Thanks!
