Jackboot Britain Summary

JACKBOOT BRITAIN, by Daniel S. Fletcher, is set in an alternate 1940, in which Nazi Germany was victorious over the British Empire. Jackboot Britain is a nightmare world; the book follows the trials and tribulations of a range of characters from various walks of life, as they struggle to exist in a Europe – and Britain – ruled by the Germany of Adolf Hitler. From captured British troops held as Prisoners of War, to Major Jochen Wolf and the conflicted, and conflicting SS men in whose care they are placed; to auxiliary partisans in the underground British resistance, anti-fascist veterans of the Spanish Civil War; to a young, female Jewish teacher in Leeds and her clever, quirky male friend; a London shopgirl and an unwilling German soldier drafted to the Wehrmacht; Bill Wilson, a monosyllabic alcoholic in a Bloomsbury pub; a humanist-libertarian journalist; four young conscripts to the German occupation force; a disabled cockney street kid; the men of the SS Einsatzgruppen (action groups), whose ‘police’ work in occupied countries was a euphemism for murder and suppression; to the SS leaders themselves and their machinations for power, including “The Blond Beast”, one of the 20th century’s most notorious villains in Reinhard Heydrich himself… The tapestry of their lives is woven through the powerful tale of a dystopian world that could have been… Jackboot Britain depicts the grim realities of a Nazi Britain and Hitler’s Europe through the lives and deaths, triumphs, setbacks and tragedies of a diverse range of characters, all of whom are caught up in the carnage and chaos of war.
