Product Description

Synopsis

Scientists from the 22nd century implant a micro computer chip into Hitler's brain, giving him the knowledge that will ensure he does not make the wrong decisions during the first year of the Second World War. Thus, Hitler orders total economic mobilization in 1939, and orders the production of the He178 jet fighter in 1939. Hitler orders Guderian to take Dunkirk before the British can escape to England. He sends Rommel to North Africa in June 1940 with four panzer divisions. The result--the British Empire is brought to its knees. The Lion is Humbled is both science fiction and alternative history. Discover for yourself how easily history could have been changed by simple decisions that were not made. You will discover how the elimination of Admiral Canaris brings Spain into the war in July 1940, or how the defeat of the British at Dunkirk affects the U.S. presidential race in 1940, or how Joe Kennedy is able to bring down the Roosevelt administration. The Lion is Humbled is the first of a series of books by Robert Blumetti's series: The Thousand Year Reich. You can now learn for yourself of the alternative future that might have been.

1.0 out of 5 stars Average read but terrible grammar..., 2 Sep 2007
By Blackie (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
Having read a lot of alternative history, this doesn't come up to the standards of David Downing but is a fairly interesting light read. However it is badly let down by the author's very poor grammar, spelling and general use of the eniglish language - I sometimes wondered if it had been translated. Certainly it needs a good proof reader and editor, and I'm surprised that it could be published without this. The author also has mid 20th century european figures using current american idioms when they speak and seems to spell words as he has (mis)heard them, such as "Downy Street" for Downing Street; not very good research! Don't pay full price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good plot, good entertainment, but bad grammar - very bad !, 17 Oct 2008
By K. Bjørnholdt - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What if Hitler actually listened to the right people during the war (seen from a historic pro-nazi view)? Could things have been different/better for Germany? Relevant war decisions are altered and the results are likely. A good and entertaining plot.

But even with a good plot, the book is not rated high due to the (lack of) proof reading and grammar.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dreadful, 2 Feb 2006
By Juliet Jones - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Racist bigoted trash poorly edited/proofread. Nazi apologist portrays allied leaders as war hungry power mad capitalists. There are some very good books out there on alternative histories but this is definitely not one of them.

Firstly I must agree with other reviewers that the numerous typos are a distraction. I find it quite easy to read around these, but it is a pity. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Brave book
I enjoyed it,his vision of 22nd century Europe is well on its way to happening now . Some may think he is a facist, but he is just being a realist. Well done!
