Rating: Summary: Enjoyable Alternate History Review: Science fiction anthologies have gotten tired in recent years, perhaps reflecting a general malaise in the field over the past decade as the last of the Golden Age giants, Asimov, Anderson and Dickson, for example, have died and no authors of similar stature appear on the horizon. I am pleased to state that this volume defies the trend. The stories in this volume are, on the whole, well written and imaginative. From a world where Patton didn't slap the soldier in Sicily, to a world where the League of Nations occupies parts of the American South, the stories weave entertaining might have beens. I especially liked the story where Custer meets his end at the Battle of the Bulge!
Rating: Summary: I give this a top review based on 1 story,Southern Strategy Review: There are a number of good stories here, however it is worth the money just for Southern Strategy. The brilliance of Richard Nixon is truly revealed and how the nation is saved from foreign domination and occupation. Of course Tricky Dick has the help of two other truly great American, Dutch Reagan and Elvis. Would love to see sequels like Nixon as president a full eight years, Reagan president for eight more years, and a constitutional change letting Elvis serve twelve to sixteen years. Wow, what a wonderful and beautiful vision! Lefties out there won't like the story or my review. Too bad.

Rating: Summary: Very slow Review: with the exception of "Southern Strategy", "George Patton Slept here" "American mandiate" Which are excellent. I think all of these stories suffered froma total lack of drive and focus. It wasn't that the est were bad its just that the rest aren't the kind of stories that you want to read twice.
