In the Presence of Mine Enemies by Harry Turtledove

Finished Turtledove's In the Presence of Mine Enemies. Um, not quite as imaginative as I might have wanted - basically a rerun of the collapse of the Soviet Union with some different stage settings. Now, if the new reform-minded Führer had been assassinated instead of just locked up, and a full-blown Germanic Imperial Civil War had erupted between the SS and the Wehrmacht, and if he'd made a series out of that, I'd be better satisfied. But I can see how that would be a helluva lot of work for a writer.
