 | | Both are swept into power by elections that are “democratic” (mixed with a lot of violence against the opposing parties). | | | Thus Nazis were perfectly happy to admit that blacks could be better athletes – just as a gazelle can run faster than a man. They even believed that Jews could be smarter than “Aryans.” Rather, the Nazis held that the Aryans were “morally superior” – something that is hard to measure. | | | With millions out of work and skyrocketing inflation, political unrest has swept the nation. |

| | The premise behind the book is that during World War II the Earth is invaded by little green lizards. | | | This is a genuine homage to the pulp fiction of the forties and fifties with no pretensions to anything except being a darn good read. | | | He attempts to tell the story of the aliens' attempt to subjugate the entire Earth, focusing on the struggle in Britain, Germany, Russia, China and the USA. |

| | American Empire: The Victorious Opposition by Harry Turtledove |
| | From California to Canada, from combat on the high seas to the secret meetings where former slaves plot a desperate strategy for survival, Harry Turtledove has created a human portrait of a world in upheaval. | | | He has taught ancient and medieval history at UCLA, Cal State Fullerton, and Cal State L.A., and has published a translation of a ninth-century Byzantine chronicle, as well as several scholarly articles. | | | The third book in his monumental American Empire series, The Victorious Opposition is a novel of ideas, action, and surprise—and an unforgettable re-imagining of history itself. |

| | The children have to adjust to the raging anti-Semitism around them as well as changing their own feelings, because they have been indoctrinated with all of the anti-Jewish hate and must learn that they are the people who most other Germans consider the devil. | | | Heinrich is caught up in the political changes but has to guard himself, lest he reveal their secrets in a rushed reaction to the world changing around him. | | | Turtledove does an excellent job of telling the intensely personal story of this family along with the larger story of massive political change in Germany. |

| | The alien tribes where the Russian and American ships make their respective touchdowns are about to make war on one another. | | | The aliens, despite their human-like personalities, are fundamentally different from us: a startling but believable feature of their biology (which is in fact found in certain earthly species) leads to a very different logic of life. | | | Turtledove follows the process of mutual discovery from the aliens’ as well as the humans’ viewpoint, giving some amusing insights into the human condition. |

| | The Great War: Breakthroughs -- Harry Turtledove |
| | As Turtledove brings his alternate World War One to a close, we can already see the seeds of the next war being sown, both in the specific activities of characters in this book and by parallels to the real history of the world. | | | A sustaining enough read, but, as in the Real World, it's just a place to mark time for a while, since the end of the "War To End War" merely sets the stage for the Next World War. | | | Another problem with the narrative technique that Turtledove has chosen, in my opinion, is that it tends to make it difficult to see the characters as people rather than as labelled cardboard figures. |
