“The shifts in viewpoint…are essential to the panoramic view of a vast nightmare that Turtledove strives to present. This is not alternate history intended to give readers the warm fuzzies; it is a remorseless working out of the consequences of greater follies producing even worse results than the ones we may read about in actual history. It makes one grateful to live in history as we know it rather than in Turtledove’s vivid imaginary version.”
— Booklist
“Savage—and satisfying.”
— Barnes & Noble, editorial review“Setting his tale on a suitably large canvas, Turtledove introduces a variety of characters who exemplify the diverse political and economic circumstances of the period…The author emphasizes character, and his thorough knowledge of the period’s history will, as usual, captivate his readers.”
