Imagine if you are Polish or something similar and you just immediately have a blue screen moment trying to figure out which exact catastrophe needs fixing first.One of the weirder things about American-penned ISOTs of this type is (like this one) it's a wish fulfilment ISOT to a war which they already won in the first place. I suppose you could say the same about any WW2 ISOT obviously and you can make arguments in that case about yes but what if we end it early and save millions of lives etc. which keeps it interesting - that maybe even works for an intervention to help the Union in the Americian Civil War - but this? I suppose the gimmick might be more to confront the dilemma between being an American patriot here and now who still identifies with the founding fathers' cause, and having to confront the slaveholding and Indian conquests back then, which I think Alex alludes to - the trouble with a review, of course, is you can't say much more without spoiling the whole thing.
