An alternate reality story, what if Japan was able to step into America (with the movie, Midway soon to be shown, this was a timely, what if............)

So we all know what happened in World War II, Allies won against the Axis, but what if the Axis forces won against the Allies, this novel clearly shows the result, there have been stories about the Third Reich winning, but this one touches on the war in the Pacific, wherein the small nation of Japan, was able to carve it's own empire and it reaches as far as the United States of America, history has shown how brutal both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan to their prisoners, or those they deem inferior, it was like reading my history lessons, except English is not the 2nd language of the world, but Nihongo, every detail of inhumane acts, every movement of their upper echelon, terrifyingly accurate, we never ever want to go back to those barbaric times, and I hope even if this is just a superbly researched and written novel, those things REALLY DID HAPPEN!!!

Astounding how both states Germany and Japan, was almost able to conquer all it aspired to, and how small their nations was compared to their neighboring countries.........

Mr. Tieryas, I hope a lot of people read this work of yours, truly a fine and praise worthy novel........
