Joe Steele

New York Times bestselling author Harry Turtledoveâ€™s thought-provoking forays into the past have produced such intriguing â€œwhat-ifâ€ novels as Ruled Britannia, Days of Infamy, and Opening Atlantis. Now â€œthe maven of alternate historyâ€ (The San Diego Union-Tribune)Â envisions the election of a United States President whose political power will redefine what the nation isâ€”and what it means to be Americanâ€¦.
Â
President Herbert Hoover has failed America. The Great Depression that rose from the ashes of the 1929 stock market crash still casts its dark shadow over the country. Despairing and desperate, the American people hope one of the potential Democratic candidatesâ€”New York governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and California congressman Joe Steeleâ€”can get the nation on the road to recovery.
Â
But fate snatches away one hope when a mansion fire claims the life of Roosevelt, leaving the Democratic party little choice but to nominate Steele, son of a Russian immigrant laborer who identifies more with the common man than with Washington D.C.â€™s wealthy power brokers.
Â
Achieving a landslide victory, President Joe Steele wastes no time pushing through Congress reforms that put citizens back to work. Anyone who gets in his way is getting in the way of America, and that includes the highest in the land. Joe Steeleâ€™s critics may believe the government is gaining too much control, but they tend to find themselves in work camps if they make too much noise about it. And most people welcome strong leadership, full employment, and an absence of complaining from the newspapersâ€”especially as Hitler and Trotsky begin the kind of posturing that seems sure to drag America into war.Â
