Title: Blood,Iron, Sweat, and Tears
Review: Here in his latest book in the aternate history series "American Empire" Turtledove expands on the lingering effects of the Great War on the lives of his charcters. While there is a certain amount of "telegraphing" of future plots, Turtledove gives his readers an understanding of the forces of history, and how the swirling political chaos can haunt the lives of ordnary people. The different decisions made by the leaders of the Blood and Iron universe show his readers how different decisions can lead to bloody warfare, hate and prejidice, in an unending and ever cycling circle of death and distruction.Most importanly, the lesson of this work can be glimpsed (however dimly) here in our own world. This is why I think this series is so important. We can see, in the fanatism of Al Queida, and the Taliban the thought processes described by Turtledove.
