  2. 2010 US Presidential Election

    For your consideration... December 13th, 2008 Chicago Tribune, A06 Gillette Denies Rumors of Third Party Candidacy North Dakota Senator Seth Gillette, a favorite of the left wing of the Democratic Party, denied reports that he would mount a third party run for the presidency in 2010...

  3. Y: The Last Man

    Anybody a fan of this excellent series of graphic novels about a postapocalyptic world where a plague wiped out every male on the planet except one, and his pet monkey?

  4. Just finished reading 'Drive to the East'

    Scipio Do you think Scipio will return in the next book? He had "resigned himself to dying" on the train...Maybe his son Cassius will take over his storyline.

  5. How likely is this techno-thriller threat?

    What about some crazy Serbian war criminals backed by an elite clique of SS-style commandos? This of course coming from 24, if anyone is a fan.

  6. 1901 by Robert Conroy- Any good?

    It's a bit drawn out and also a bit implausible in my opinion, but it's an interesting read. I got through it pretty quickly.

  7. It Can't happen here

    You can read the whole book online here. http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks03/0301001h.html

  8. Anglo-American Cold War

    "Cold War?" Doesn't sound so cold to me.

  9. The Republic of Valverde

    This is inspired by the movies "Commando" and "Die Hard 2". Both movies involve a fictional South American nation called the Republic of Valverde. I have not seen Commando, but this is what I could figure out. This history is sketchy and I have no idea where Valverde is, so bear with me...

  10. A Rather Silly Idea

    Maybe if there was a Mosleyite takeover stemming from the abdication crisis, ex. The Leader by Guy Walters, the Brits could adopt a harsher policy on India, resulting in Gandhi's death, massacres, and full scale rebellion.

  11. Nazis and Arabs?

    Kawukji, the commander of the Palestinian irregulars who fought the Israelis during the War of Independence in 1947-1949, spent the war in Germany, fought for the Germans, and had a German wife. Sadat was a member of an Egyptian nationalist organization which hoped to revolt against the British...

  12. Philip Roth Goes AH!

    I just found out that Philip Roth has a book coming out next month about Lindbergh's election to the presidency in 1940, called "The Plot Against America." I have read a couple of reviews and they are very positive. It seems like a Philip Roth-style book set in an alternate world.

  13. Commies win the 1933 German election

    Wrong Germany as a communist nation would not have the power that a nationalist Germany. The army would not support a communist government. They might even try a coup. The leaders of the army would be about as anti-communist as a gets. The Rommels, Mansteins, and Guderians would not serve a...

  14. The Legacy of Nicholas Kovalenko

    Just read the thread, and I enjoyed it very much. Will it continue?

  15. The World of The Manchurian Candidate

    SPOILERS The world, and particularly the United States, that the newest version of The Manchurian Candidate paints is quite different from our own. There are a number of major differences. 1. There are soldiers throughout the streets of New York City, in front of Penn Station and...

  16. The 4400

    Just read about this new series on USA. It is about 4400 people who have disappeared or "been abducted" over fifty years suddenly reappearing all at once. Anyone heard anything about it?

  17. Greatest Guerrilla generals

    Che was a good guerilla commander, he just made several crucial errors. His campaign in Cuba was really his only success as a commander (failures in the Congo and Bolivia), but his strategies, ideas, influence, and most importantly, inspiration were his major commitment to guerilla warfare.

  18. Most Underrated Military Commanders

    Mickey Marcus, American, first General of the Israeli Army

  19. The Leader

    I hadn't even heard of it until I saw it in an Israeli bookstore. There is a lot of stuff about Hitler being an ally to the "new British Empire" and King Edward walking around in a fascist uniform.

  20. The Leader

    Not sure if there has been a post on this, but I found this book in Israel and it was pretty good. The basic premise is that Edward VIII stayed king, which caused internal strife in Britain. With no one willing to form a government if Edward doesn't resign, the king turns to Oswald Mosley in...
