What do you think of the Panay War ATL?

It's from Changing the Times, by Scott Palter. It can be found here.

It's meant to be a different version of an AH thought experiment to create an evil America from WWII as seen in Dark America. Long story short, it has the plot by the industrialists against FDR succeeding, a brief civil war occurring, in the aftermath an AH character (pretty much a darker, far-reaching Truman analogue) becoming president. This also leads to the most massive version of WWII that I've ever come across in an AH. The Allies vs. the Axis and the Soviets. A basically 20-year long war. Insane and quite implausible, but also freaking epic.

What do you think of it?

Another Panayverse, the other chapters to date are spread out amongst the other pages of the site.

Wow! Your description PMN1 has me very interested. Dark? Epic? That's exactly what I want out of a WW2 timeline. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Sounds interesting, although I think that no country on Earth could afford to make a modern war for 20 years.
