The War That Came Early: West and East
Harry Turtledove
Del Rey (2011), Edition: 1, Hardcover, 448 pages
This volume is a bit slower to engage than the first volume of this trilogy, Hitler's War (and I confess I missed the intermediate book entirely - which may or may not affect the overall review). The book stands on it's own well enough, but does take a while to engage the whole cast of characters as we meet them in short vignettes. Once we know who the players are it's a meandering stroll through their places in this alternate history. It's not a smashing, crashing climax, but an interesting view of a history that might have been.
