murder mystery set in a triumphant Third Reich Interessant anderes Setting macht es sehr spannend: http://www.weberseite.at/buecher/fatherland-robert-harris/ I'm glad I finally read this book. It has been on my to-read list for some time now. This book has a possible answer for the question "What if Hitler won the war?". And it tells it from the viewpoint of a disgruntled, disillusioned police detective who whilst investigating a murder uncovers the biggest, closely guarded secret of the German Reich. A well-written fast paced book it kept me always wanting to know more. And therein lies the issue I had with it. It just didn't tell me enough. I wanted to know more after it ended, what happened next. I also wanted to know more about the universe of the book. Just how did the Germans defeat the Allies? Why wasn't France, Holland, etc. part of the new German empire? What about Franco and Mussolini? But I guess that's just the historian in me. It was still a great book and I highly recommend it. When I think of great alternate history stories of the Germans winning World War II, I normally think of The Man in the High Castle or Indiana Jones (though not the same, the feeling of a Nazi Superpower is the same). Fatherland is a brilliant blend of a murder mystery mixed with known elements of the Nazi history in the war. The story follows a Kriminalpolizei detective Xavier March who is investigating a murder which leads him deeper into discovering the true and suppressed elements of the Nazi party and their war crimes. Well worth the read if you enjoy Alternate history or if you just love a good mystery. The brutality and invasiveness of life under the Third Reich presented through the prism of an alternate world thriller. As such, it touches on the nature of war and history, pointing out (in dark reflection) the assumptions by which we justify our particular views of history. A consummate introduction to what has become Harris's trademark of presenting historical fact in the form of compelling thriller. nincs kritika | kritika hozzáadása
