Just finished reading it. GOD - Dugout Doug was an a**hole, wasn't he? Or at least that's the impression that you get from reading this
. He talks about himself like Ceaser, without the very real competance that underlined Ceaser's works. No one talks about himself in third person, certainly not face to face. I mean...
"Christopher thinks that he is the greatest writer ever to exist in the history of the world," Chris said. He said nothing at all about hios failures to help someone when they needed it. "natually, Christopher has no amimus against Tom [Thande], but it must be admited" - weasal words - "that Christopher is by far his superior..."
And on, and on, and on... That's what it reads like.
As AH, it has two seperate PODS; the loss of the Battle of Midway and a failure to develop the A-Bomb in time to avoid invading Japan. I won't go into details; suffice it to say that over half of the book is the lead-up to the invasion, covering nearly a dozen characters. It's like someone had tried to cut the entire worldwar books into one book.
OTOH, no one is going to be complaining, any more, about how I portayed him.
