  1. WI a dictator/political leader is found to have had secret children?

    Stalin's daughter apparently has been spending most of her adult life trying to avoid the publicity that comes with her father having been her father.

  2. WI a dictator/political leader is found to have had secret children?

    What other books have that? Other than the Jackie French one I mentioned. Just because it's old doesn't mean you can't use it again :). And ETA, I think in Argentina a while ago there was a woman who claimed she was Evita's daughter. And there was another one who claimed to be Juan Peron's...

  3. WI a dictator/political leader is found to have had secret children?

    Say Hitler had secret children (he was known to be childless) how would this impact attempts to track down ex-Nazis and bring them to justice? Now that's a good premise for an AH novel. Our protagonist discovers their great-grandparent, who immigrated to Argentina after the war and who they...

  4. WI a dictator/political leader is found to have had secret children?

    Someone I know said "Imagine being Stalin's first girlfriend." I don't think I'd sleep with a dictator.

  5. WI a dictator/political leader is found to have had secret children?

    Inspired by my Books and Media thread on Hitler's Daughter and the old Breaking News thread, and thoughts about the children of dictators (due to being a procrastinator who should be studying). What if a dictator or supposed dictator known to be childless, or any political leader, was found to...

  6. Batista regains popularity. July 26th movement a lost cause. And human cloning.

    http://forum.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=240236 Comments are appreciated, especially on the AH. Haven't got any on that aspect.

  7. Don't know whether this counts as AH, but.. Hitler's Daughter by Jackie French

    Jackie French mentions how she came to write the book here on her website: http://www.jackiefrench.com/hitlersd.html#questions. It's much more than just a children's book IMO. I'm 18 and I still like it despite the fact I'm technically an adult. And her writing style is great (she's my...

  8. Don't know whether this counts as AH, but.. Hitler's Daughter by Jackie French

    ColeMercury, I'm 18 and would have to agree with you. It is incredible and I only wish I could write like that.

  9. Don't know whether this counts as AH, but.. Hitler's Daughter by Jackie French

    Yeah, jkarr, but they wouldn't be killed if no-one knew who their father was, or even that they existed, would they?

  10. Don't know whether this counts as AH, but.. Hitler's Daughter by Jackie French

    Anyone want to discuss it? Not as in the plausibility of Hitler having a daughter nobody knew about...

  11. Don't know whether this counts as AH, but.. Hitler's Daughter by Jackie French

    While reading the Breaking News thread in the Alternate History After 1900 forum, I was reminded of this children's book by Jackie French, called Hitler's Daughter. The title is exactly what it says on the tin. Whenever I read it I'm struck by how Jackie French puts across the question of "What...

  12. *Breaking News*

    I know this is late. But: Romulus Augustulus, there's a children's book called Hitler's Daughter by Jackie French which asks this question. "What if Hitler had a secret daughter? Would she be blamed for everything her father had done, even though it isn't her fault?" The framing device is that...

  13. Batista regains popularity. July 26th movement a lost cause. And human cloning.

    And possibly the Cold War would end earlier.

  14. Batista regains popularity. July 26th movement a lost cause. And human cloning.

    OK, so there might be a different end to the Cold War. And there would probably be mild censorship of anti-government programs in Cuba. And the former Communist countries would be trying to cover their embarrassment.

  15. Batista regains popularity. July 26th movement a lost cause. And human cloning.

    Might one of the international consequences for this include other countries that aren't Communist in OTL becoming Communist? Like for example (OK, this is very ASB) my own home country of Australia (a very small chance- everyone would have to agree on that, and it's not very likely that we'll...

  16. WI: Yitzak Rabin survives

    Er... well two years ago when I was in Year 11 here in Australia I did the Arab-Israeli conflict in history class. And from what I remember (not much as right now I have finished Modern History as a subject) Rabin's attempt at the peace process had support among those who wanted a peace process...

  17. A Collectivist America Where Choice is a Burden and Free Will is Feared?

    Oceania was actually Britain... I think (I haven't read it).

  18. WI: Yitzak Rabin survives

    Quicker resolution to Arab-Israeli conflict.
