Book Description
======
The author of the Worldwar and Great War series displays his virtuoso
command of the details of WWII in this fourth book (after 2001’s Through
the Darkness) about a conflict between mythical feudal kingdoms using
magic instead of science as the basis for technology. Aficionados will
enjoy picking out the parallels the Japan-analog Gyonghos Empire, for
example, fights "the grinning dwarves of Kuusamo" (i.e., the United
States). On the equivalent of the Eastern front, the German-based Algarvian
Empire recovers from its losses in the frozen urban hell of Sulingen
and prepares for its usual summer advance against the forces of King
Swemmel of Unkerlant, leading to a replay of the battle of Kursk. Turtledove’s
great strength has always been the depiction of ordinary characters
who have to live with the consequences of their superiors’ decisions
an Algarvian policeman in Forthweg objects to rounding up Kaunians,
while a group of theoretical magicians must work on a thaumaturgical
Manhattan Project. Alternate history derives half of its fun and all
of its significance from the understanding it fosters of the ur-conflict,
but when the Algarvians begin mass killings of the Kaunian minority
in Forthweg to incorporate their life energies into potent sorceries
against their opponents, only to be matched by Swemmel’s willingness
to slaughter his own peasantry for a similar magical advantage, one
doesn’t feel that our understanding of the Holocaust is advanced. Turtledove
may offer few insights into WWII, but he sure knows how to use the facts
to entertain.
