Excerpt from Britain as Germany's Vassal He urges the necessity of an attack upon the Entente Powers, although it "may certainly lead to a war similar to the 'Seven Years War'" (see last chapter). The war should be made to arise out of the Balkan question. Then England might perhaps not join in (see last chapter). Turkey should attack Russia in the South and Britain in Egypt (Chapter X). Diplomatically and militarily Germany has carried out every one of Bernhardi's recommendations contained in the present volume. His latest book is perhaps the most remarkable political indiscretion of modern times. It is, besides, a paean of war and of German civilisation. The word "Kultur" occurs three or four times on most pages, and seven or eight times on several. As the question has been discussed whether Germany has, or has not, observed the laws and rules of civilised warfare, I have appended a few extracts from the regulations adopted at the Hague Conference of 1907 to which Germany has subscribed, and from "Kriegsbrauch im Landkriege," the authoritative German handbook on the customs of war published by the German General Staff in 1902. I would draw particular attention to their great importance. They will enable every reader to form for himself an opinion as to the character and legality of Germany's actions based on the highest international and German authorities.

2023 Philip K. Dick Award Nominee "A compulsive, terrifying read."—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code For readers of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale comes a thrilling feminist dystopian novel set in an alternative history that terrifyingly imagines what a British alliance with Germany would look like if the Nazis had won WWII. To control the past, they edited history. To control the future, they edited literature. LONDON, 1953. Thirteen years have passed since England surrendered to the Nazis and formed a Grand Alliance with Germany. It was forced to adopt many of its oppressive ideologies, one of which was the strict classification of women into hierarchical groups based on the perceived value they brought to society. Rose Ransom, a member of the privileged Geli class, remembers life from before the war but knows better than to let it show. She works for the Ministry of Culture, rewriting the classics of English literature to ensure there are no subversive thoughts that will give women any ideas. Outbreaks of insurgency have been seen across the country with graffiti made up of seditious lines from forbidden works by women painted on public buildings. Suspicion has fallen on Widowland, the run-down slums where childless women over fifty have been banished. Rose is given the dangerous task of infiltrating Widowland to find the source of the rebellion before the Leader arrives in England for the Coronation ceremony of King Edward VIII and Queen Wallis. Will Rose follow her instructions and uncover the criminals? Or will she fight for what she knows in her heart is right? Praise for Widowland: "A mind-bender of a novel about the power of literature to change minds. I loved it!" —Mark Sullivan, bestselling author of The Last Green Valley and Beneath a Scarlet Sky "I rarely come across a book I can't put down but I devoured this one." —Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author of two historical mystery series as well as several internationally bestselling historical novels "An electrifying, Orwellian dystopia with a thrilling feminist twist." —Lara Prescott, New York Times bestselling author of The Secrets We Kept "Tense, thought-provoking, and terrifying." —Natalie Jenner, international bestselling author of The Jane Austen Society and Bloomsbury Girls
