This is a compilation of vignettes of soldiers fighting an
alternate history World War II.
I am normally a very big Turtledove fan. Not so much on this book. It covered many of the WWII fronts and the
lives of the men and women who suffered through war. Turtledove had good character studies, as
always.
What was missing from this book was any kind of plot if you
ignore the fact that WWII could be identified as the plot. Nothing fit together; you just couldn’t tie all
the character studies into a visual whole.
I kept expecting to see some masterful pulling together of separate
threads to make a garment that I would happily donned. It never happened.
