DESCRIPTION:
And the Jews in Germany, though trapped under Hitler's fist, are as yet protected by his fear of looking bad before the world—and by an outspoken Catholic bishop. With his spectacular command of character, coincidence, and military and political strategies, Harry Turtledove continues a passionate, unmatched saga of a World War II composed of different enemies, different allies—and hurtling toward a horrific moment. For the time being, the United States is fighting only Japan—and the war is not going as well as Washington would like.
