What would things be like if Hitler had won WWII? It's 1964 and the President is Kennedy ... not JFK but his father, Joe!! An interesting turn of events ... what if Hitler had won?? Couldn't put the book down.

The year is 1964. Hitler is alive and well and Jospeh Kennedy is President of the US. Read by Colonel Klink from Hogan's Heroes. Who could ask for more??

One of the better alternate history novels out there. Well researched and well written, Robert Harris did a fantastic job conveying his story and point across. This needs a big budget movie adaptation!

Decent plot, but unremarkable book. Nothing shocking about it, if you're even remotely fimilar with the Nazis.

The last fourty pages or so were great. Again, nothing shocking. I'm usually one who won't finish a book if I'm not enjoying the book a lot, but I'm glad I finished this one.
