In this remarkable World War II alternate background, get good at storyteller Harry Turtledove begins with a large switch: imagine if Neville Chamberlain, rather than appeasing Hitler, got stood up to him in 1938? Enraged, Hitler reacts by lashing out at the West, promising his military that they can reach Paris by the new time. They don't. 3 years later, his genocidal apparatus not fully set up, Hitler has scarcely survived a coup, while Jews cling to survival. But England and France speculate whether the warfare is still beneficial. Weaving along a ensemble of heroes that amounts from a brawling American fighter in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in Spain to a female who may have seen Hitler's bad face-to-face, Harry Turtledove needs us into a world shaping up very diversely in 1941. The Germans and their Polish allies have slammed into the gut of the Soviet Union in the west, while Japan pummels away in the east. In trench warfare in France, France and Czech fighters are outmanned however, not outfought by their Nazi enemy. Then your stalemate is shattered. In England, Winston Churchill dies in an apparent car accident, and the grey men who walk behind his funeral cortege think about who their real enemy is. The USSR, struggling for its life, makes calmness with Japan---and Japan's warfare with America is about to begin. A sweeping saga of human passions, foolishness, and courage, of family members and enthusiasts and military by choice and by chance, The Big Turn is a provocative, gripping, and absolutely convincing work of alternative background at its best. For background buffs and supporters of big, blood-and-guts fiction, Harry Turtledove delivers a breathtaking clash of ideals as powerful as armies themselves.
