Product Information
1952. Twelve years have passed since Churchill lost to the appeasers and Britain surrendered to Nazi Germany after Dunkirk. As the long German war against Russia rages on in the east, the British people find themselves under dark authoritarian rule: the press, radio and television are controlled; the streets patrolled by violent auxiliary police and British Jews face ever greater constraints. There are terrible rumours too about what is happening in the basement of the German Embassy at Senate House. Defiance, though, is growing. In Britain, Winston Churchill's Resistance organization is increasingly a thorn in the government's side. And in a Birmingham mental hospital an incarcerated scientist, Frank Muncaster, may hold a secret that could change the balance of the world struggle for ever. Civil Servant David Fitzgerald, secretly acting as a spy for the Resistance, is given the mission to rescue his old friend Frank and get him out of the country. Before long he, together with a disparate group of Resistance activists, will find themselves fugitives in the midst of London's Great Smog; as David's wife Sarah finds herself drawn into a world more terrifying than she ever could have imagined. And hard on their heels is Gestapo Sturmbannfuhrer Gunther Hoth, brilliant, implacable hunter of men . . . At once a vivid, haunting reimagining of 1950s Britain, a gripping, humane spy thriller and a poignant love story, with Dominion C. J. Sansom once again asserts himself as the master of the historical novel.Product Identifiers

Frightening Alternate History
History like so many things can turn on small decision. Dominion is set against the backdrop of a Britain suffering under totalitarian oppression having signed a peace treaty with Germany in 1940 after the British army being smashed during the battle for France. This book is a story of fighting back against oppression but the writer has brilliantly shown not just one side of the story but all sides showing that everyone is human in reality. I had never read Dominion before. I always wanted to but had been put off by bad reviews but on a whim I decided to buy it have not been disappointed. The writing is pure genius and is not biased to one side or another. I like in particular the details that are put in to cement it as a different 1950s to the one we know about today. If anyone loves alternate history books with a human story behind them or just loves the work of CJ Sansom in particular then I would advise them to buy this as it is well worth the cost and is a book that I have found it difficult to put down already having read 410 pages in the space of about four days.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Nazi Britain in the 1950's - nearly
C J Sansom writes a brilliant book on the possible outcome of what may have happened if the powers that be had not had Churchill standing up for Britain. This tale is one that should be read, particularly when there appear appears to be an uprising of the far-right and Nationalism.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
