The premise is interesting: after a brief stint in radical politics, Hitler moves to New York, disenfranchised with the German political system yet not with the radical ideas of racial purity. He becomes a hack illustrator, yet his biggest work is that of a science fiction book called "Lords of the Swastika".
Spinrad's writing is harsh, often hackish and unkempt - just as a German speaking SciFi illustrator would. His portrayal of a world 1000 years past the nuclear holocaust and protagonists and antagonists alike is that of a clearly delusional and infatuated Hitler. His afterword, in which he assumes the identity of a reviewer, speaks of Hitler's death in 1953 and the posthumous Hugo award for his work on "Lords of the Swastika" as well as the staple Hitler's leather-and-swastika uniforms have become at SciFi conventions, since. A visual reminder that we all are susceptible to something much more sinister than even Spinrad could write....less
