Resurrection Day - March 2011

19. Resurrection Day - Brendan DuBois

378 Pages, Borrowed from Local Library

What if Kennedy had started World War 3? In this book Russia and America are crippled after the Cuban Missile Crisis goes nuclear and the U.K. is a super power.

Cleverly the book is set in an alternative 1972 where a journalist ( and former soldier) is trying to find out if Kennedy, the man who was responsible for the deaths of millions, is actually still alive.

This reminded me of another very enjoyable alternative history book, "Fatherland" by Robert Harris.

Really makes you think of what could have so easily happened back then and how the world would look as a result.

Great characters, enjoyable plot and satisfying ending. What more could you want!

I give this 5 "London Times Journalists" out of 5
