By Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman. Probably qualifies more as future history than AH but there are a few little titbits that King throws to the readers: 'the sky lit up like recordings he had seen of the german blitz on the American East Coast cities', 'he had lost a leg in the attack on the German nuclear base at Santiago' (both paraphrased).
I was wondering if anyone else had read this book and had thoughts about how the world of the book came to be.
I felt that the Germans had conquered Britain before the US could come into the war. With increasing isolationism possibly the US would ignore Germany and carry out its own campaign against Japan.
A few years later, the cold war between the reich and the USA turns hot for a while before both sides settle down to lick their wounds. Due to the trauma caused by this war (which probably went nuclear), the US itself slipped into a semi-fascist government.
