In this not so subtle parallel of modern fourth generation warfare, Turtledove again weaves and alternative history. He leaves behind his favored series of a post Confederate victory history and weaves a new world of a post Nazi Germany where some refuse to surrender to conventional defeat. Instead, a growing resistance in Germany builds to a fever pitch leading to the inevitable rebirth of the National Socialists. This leads America to the horns of a dilemma between The Forever War or giving up hard-fought gains. It is the same dilemma faced in Vietnam in the late 20th century and now faced in Afghanistan in the early 21st. Did not Mark Twain say that history does not repeat itself but sometimes it rhymes? Turtledove reveals how true that could be with minor twists to what was which turn to what could have been, and what is now.
The characters are believable and easy to relate with. The plot is, in light of the distinct parallels with today's news, somewhat predictable yet immensely enjoyable all the same. As might be expected, the ending leaves one with an obvious opening to sequels whether such are in the works or not. A thought-provoking read that reveals that there are no easy answers and perhaps, in such situations, the choice between two paths may lead to equally unwanted historical consequences. Very well done.
