Amazon is coming out with a tv series called The Man in the High Castle. It's a based on the best selling book that explored what life would be like in the USA if the Axis powers won the war.

I like the concept, but have not read any. I wouldn't mind some suggestions, as long as they are not thinly veiled anti liberal propaganda.

I thought this would be about John U. Bacon's new book.

I don't know about can't miss, but they've been making shows for a couple years now. If you have prime they're free, so I'd enjoy it while they are swimming in money. I'm sure they'll cut back in a few years. Hand of God is good, has Ron Pearlman, one of my all time favs and a bunch of other great actors. Check it out.

Fatherland, Axis of Time series, Stephen King has written some like 11/22/63...

Id pick a time period you are interested in and go from there. Lots of alternate books about the Civil War...one I read is called Dixie Victorious

I started watching this last night. It's pretty good. One of the ultimate "what ifs".

I'm shocked that The Dude would like a TV series with this premise.
