Tank you, Mr Rhodes

For alternate history buffs, this one rocks!It makes me sqeamish, though, having tank battles in the heartland of America, but if history had gone that way, I suppose it would have happened. There are some uneven patches, but all in all a fun read. For battle action, the only recent title that might compare is Hopp's Dinosaur Wars, where intelligent dinosaurs return from space to battle our troops in M1A1 Abrams tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles.

The Last Reich

The Last Reich is a novel with a twist on World War II. Germany wins the war but America reacts with fury and fire. Arthur Rhodes is at his best with his description of the four battles. He writes crisp and cunning plots, a complex thriller. He is not one to go into great detail, but moves the story along at footrace pace to the final battle. Older readers will recognize many of the famous names in the book, and why the Normandie Invasion failed with General Clark in command not General Eisenhower. Mr. Rhodes waves the flag a great deal and appeals to the young and young at heart. I especially was taken with the young Commander Iberson who wins the battle at the Golden Gate Bridge and the Rio Grande with his amazing feats, and courage. He is a man who can inspire Captains to carry ammunition.

What if the Nazi's prevailed?

What if FDR died in 1942? What if America had not been able to muster all her resources to aid the allies in defeating the German and Japanese war machines? Arthur Rhodes took me on a journey through history that is at once plausable and quite disturbing."The Last Reich" is a legitamate page-turner, quite honestly, much more so than I expected. The story moves quickly, the characters are defined without being cumbersome. The author's research was obviously thorough yet not over-whelmingly detailed.I found it an easy book to read, although the publisher should be embarrassed by the horrendous gaffs found through out the novel. In fact that is the very reason I deprived Mr. Rhode's a fifth star, sorry Arthur!I have heard rumors that "The Last Reich" may not be the final chapter of Mr. Rhodes' revised history lesson; I for one hope that this is true. I highly recommend this book and anxiously await the follow-up. Bravo, Mr Rhodes!
