Good alternative history.  One reviewer described it as ponderous.  I did not find it that way.  I thought it was fairly fast paced.  Ok, everyone can have slightly different views of what would have happened IF.  But it was fairly well paced, mostly credible and a fun read.  The partisans, the SS trooper atrocities, even Rommel's patrician manners, are all a bit stereotyped.  Churchill shooting an assassin is just plain silly the way it played out.  But suspend your disbelief and just enjoy the story.  Then you can play what if your self as to what happens next.Things I thought were unrealistic:Russia would not have folded out of the war.  Because of the way US history is taught most people think we won WWII; ignoring the fact that the Russians broke the back of the German army.Atomic weapon development is left as a teaser at the end.  But I would have expected all sides to continue development.Although the world  seemed to know about Hitlers Jewish solution, they were pretty much indifferent.Rommel surrenders way too easy.
