Intense, disturbing, and sad; yet full of beauty hidden behind ugliness.
Life in the 1960’s in a United States that lost World War II and has been split between Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan
I’ve been wanting to read this for a long time. I watched the first episode of the Amazon series and decided it was past time for me to read this and compare the two. Like the show, this book is pretty dark and disturbing. Partly because you can SEE how easily the American society could adapt. I happened to be reading this during the ISIS attacks in Paris and the deep religious and racist backlash that occurred in the press and social media was all the more disturbing combined with reading this dark alternate history of a US that lost World War II.
