Summary: Nice main-stream alternate history novel
Review: What if Roosevelt had lived on, and Churchill had got rid of Stalin? This novel is mostly about what these events would have meant to the USA and to Russia in 1945 -- the novel ends with the war, so the long-term consequences are not discussed. So where good alternate history makes you wonder how our world is just a result of random events, this novel mostly lets you see what Beria, Khrushchev et al. would have done when Stalin died in the middle of the war. The book is well written, so it's nice to read. But don't expect it to change your life!
