Book Description
======
Alternate-history master Turtledove (Ruled Britannia) presents a starkly
realistic view of what might have been had the Japanese followed the
bombing of Pearl Harbor with a land invasion and occupied Hawaii. U.S.
airman Fletch Armitage, held in a POW camp under horrifying conditions
(the Japanese never signed the Geneva Convention), keeps hope alive
even as he slowly starves. His ex-wife, Jane, keeps her head down in
occupied Wahiawa, tending her assigned garden plot and hoping she won’t
be raped. Fisherman Jiro Takahashi, a native Japanese, welcomes the
Rising Sun in Hawaii, but his sons, who consider themselves American,
aren’t so sure, even though the white Americans begin treating Japanese-America-
–
–
ns with contempt, particularly those who act as translators for the
invaders, further widening the racial divide and increasing tensions.
As the Japanese strengthen their hold on the islands, each side comes
to grudgingly accept the courage of the other, despite the cultural
chasms that separate them. The Americans vow to retake the islands,
setting the scene for a final showdown that pits mastermind Commander
Genda and maneuverable Zero airplanes against American strategy that
includes technology the Japanese lack: radar. A less than neatly wrapped-up
ending leaves room for a sequel. With an emphasis on tactics and warfare
technology, this exciting, well-researched alternate history will please
history buffs and SF fans alike.
