This is very well done.  Author Timothy Ross definitely understands Japanese attitudes and behavior - the various postwar Japanese area armies setting up their own economic zones is very accurate, as well as cute.  I have some military quibbles but the only significant one concerns the Nazis' nuclear attack on Japan, which needed ten times the number of nukes - see Stuart Slade's _The Big One_ as an example of doing nukes right.Ross's political and historical depth and detail overcome a mediocre opening and well overcome suspension of disbelief.  _Lucky Strike Green_ kept me going past bedtime to finish it.I look forward to anything else he writes, and recommend this book to all alternate history fans.  _Lucky Strike Green_ is a great example of how to do it right, and Ross's writing skills should improve.
