Title: Polemic disguised as Alternate History
Review: The main test of alternate history as a genre is that it be somewhat believable. I got two pages in and the character "Al Gore" was so far off the mark that I went back to the reviews here, and returned the book to get my money back. I then borrowed the copy of a friend who recommended it. I read Turtledove and other alternate history, I study real history as a hobby. I'm to the right of the current republicans (if you're going to occupy a country, start up the draft!) and consider myself a cranky libertarian. This one is just weak writing and political polemic. The weakness of modern American politics is the constant tendency to present your opponents as idiots rather than to argue rationally.
