Fatherland by Robert Harris

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
It is a spring day in 1964 in Berlin, when the body of an elderly man is fished out of a lake. Detective Xavier March is not convinced that the death was accident or suicide and begins to investigate. But this is a world where Nazi Germany won World War Two – a world in which Hitler still rules and the people of Germany and the lands they conquered are in the grip of a totalitarian regime. When March is told that the Gestapo are taking over the case, he finds he can't let go of it, and soon he will begin to suspect that the murder was only a tiny part of a great conspiracy, the revelation of which would strike at the very foundations of the regime. And he finds himself in ever increasing danger…
I believe this was Harris' 'breakthrough' novel when it was published back in 1992, and I'm not surprised. It's a wonderfully realised alternative history – accept the basic premise that the Nazis won and all the rest flows from it with total credibility. The state that Harris describes is a kind of mash-up of Orwellian ideas with the realities of the Soviet Union of the Cold War era.
But I think the reason it works so well is that Harris doesn't get too bogged down in describing his world at the expense of plot. His main characters are entirely fictional rather than, as so often happens with this kind of alternative history, fictionalised versions of real people. Although Hitler, Churchill and others get mentioned, they're not directly involved in the story. Nor is March any different than he would have been in our reality – he's an ordinary dedicated police detective with no great love or hate towards the regime. He's still fairly young, so his life since a child has been under the Nazis and he accepts it as normal, and just wants to be allowed to get on with his job. It's only as the story progresses and he gets nearer to the secret at the heart of it that he begins to realise the true horrors perpetrated by the Nazis in their early years.
From the 1994 HBO TV movie – the action takes place as Germany prepares to celebrate Hitler's 75th birthday
The other aspect that I thought was done particularly well was how Harris showed what happens to regimes like this when they manage to stay in power for a long time. Just as in real totalitarian states, most people are not dissidents – they accept life as it is, grumble a bit about the things they don't like, and don't pay a lot of attention to things that don't affect them directly. But it's the '60s, and attitudes are changing even here. Young people want to know more about the wider world – they want to travel and read books from other cultures and listen to the Beatles. With advancing technology it's harder for the regime to control all information flows as easily as they once did so people are becoming more aware of what life is like in other parts of the world. Although the story is not about the pressure for change or for a return to democracy, the reader can sniff it in the air. The old leaders are ageing fast – the world goes on turning, regimes evolve or die. Harris handles all this superbly, I thought. He also shows how other nations, once adversaries, have had to accept the realpolitik of the situation and begin to deal with Germany as just another state. Defeated little Britain barely gets a mention, its power in the world long gone. The American President is about to finally give formal recognition to the Nazi regime by making a state visit to the country.
But all this is relayed to the reader lightly as background to the main story. Meantime March is involved in a traditional style thriller, where he's racing to find the truth before the Gestapo stop him. He's aided by a young, female, American journalist stationed in Berlin, who as well as being involved in the main plot, tells March how the regime is seen by outsiders and reveals things about their actions that the world knows but the citizens of Nazi Germany don't, including the Holocaust. (As a side note, I found some of the descriptions of this aspect to be particularly graphic and somewhat upsetting, though obviously true and therefore not gratuitous.)
I've tried not to say much about the plot because it's nicely labyrinthine and much of the pleasure comes from being led through it gradually. I'll simply say that while some of it is deliberately obvious, lots of it isn't, and though I felt rightly that I knew where we were heading, I still didn't know at all what route we would take or what would happen when we got there. I hope that's enigmatic enough to be intriguing!
I listened to the audiobook version narrated by Michael Jayston who did a great job. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the book both for the skill of the plotting and for the excellence of the creation of the alternative history. Highly recommended – Harris really is a master at this kind of historical thriller.

I've got to read this! I added Robert Harris to my list after you reviewed Munich or Enigma and am now feeling guilty about not having started already…
Haha – unfortunately he's been quite prolific so if you like him, your TBR might end up like mine! This or Enigma would both be great ones to start with…
What a brilliant review. I have not seen the TV series but have obviously heard of it and thought the premise clever, but the screen version appeared to focus more on the scariness of having the Nazis in charge – this seems to have that aspect more as a background rumbling. It sounds like it has been portrayed very well indeed. Bravo, Harris – a great writer and he has such a lovely face 🙂
Thank you! 😀 Yes, the Nazi thing was important to the story in this, but he didn't overdo it and that left more room for a good plot. I haven't seen the TV thing either and don't think I want to – the book is always better! 😉
Excellent review, it sounds like an engrossing read.
Thank you! And it is – he's a great writer! 🙂
I'm so glad you liked this so well, FictionFan. And I think you brought up a really important point: books like this work best if the author keeps the focus on the characters and on the story, rather than the details of the alternate history. To me, that's what separates the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. Excellent review, as ever!
Thanks, Margot! 😀 Yes, I totally agree – the story has to not get overshadowed by the world-building. And I preferred that he didn't fictionalise real people to any great degree – I always find that distracting, especially if I disagree with the author's opinion of the person. Harris is really brilliant at this kind of thing!
Wow! Great review! A very different rating than that for Gone with the Wind. 😀 😁
The premise reminds me of Amazon's The Man in the High Castle, based on Philip K. Dick's novel.
Hahaha! Yes, not a single frock description in this one as far as I remember! 😉
I tried listening to the audiobook of The Man in the High Castle a few years ago and couldn't get into it. For me, this one felt much more believable.
Great review of one of my favourite books. Everything Harris writes is worth reading – my favourite tends to be whichever I have read/reread most recently, but this is the one I would recommend to a newbie.
Yes, he's become one of my favourite writers now and happily I've still got several more of his books to enjoy. This would be a good one to begin with, or Enigma.
I want to read this based upon your review! I cannot believe it is not available in a kindle edition in the US. Bummer. That said, I may try the audio version even though I've essentially given up on them. I'm always trying to do something else at the same time and spend half my "reading" time rewinding.
How annoying! I wish they'd hurry up and get these older books onto Kindle, especially the ones like this that still get read a lot! Ha – I find it hard to concentrate on audiobooks too – I either get distracted or nod off. It can take me weeks to get all the way through a book. 😀 Hope you manage to get hold of it in some format though – and enjoy!
Fascinating. I don't usually read this kind of thing but you've got me intrigued…
Yay! I thought I'd lost my touch altogether! 😉 I must say Harris is absolutely the best – if you ever do take a fancy for this kind of thing, pick one of his! 😀
Nice to hear you enjoyed this one so much! I haven't read it, but your review makes it sound like a winner. I'll have to see if I can squeeze something else onto my TBR!
Every TBR should have at least one Robert Harris on it! 😉 Seriously though, he's great at this kind of story, so if you ever do get time, it's well worth reading… 😀

It's good to be reminded about the treats on offer as I slowly work my way through the Robert Harris novels. I am very much attracted by the background (rather than foreground) world-building you describe. For me, this brings a greater immersion in a taken-for-granted existence rather than a let-me-show-you-how-it-is-different world. I'm looking forward to this read.
I am able to purchase Fatherland on Kindle via US Amazon. I wonder if there are sometimes different licensing arrangements for within US purchases? It's also available as an eBook in our library.
I'm loving working my way through his books – I'm quite glad I was late discovering him, so there are plenty to look forward to! Yes, I thought he did the alternative history bit excellently. I found myself comparing it to Sansom's Dominion, also about a world where the Nazis won. Usually I love Sansom but I thought that one got bogged down in the world at the expense of the story, plus he used a lot of real people and made some of them behave in ways that I felt were almost libellous, or would have been if the people were still living. Left a bit of a bad taste.
It's odd about the American Kindle thing – I know in the past I've had people say to me they can't get a book when it looks to me as if it's available on Amazon US. I think you must be right that it's something to do with regional licensing arrangements.

Great review! I've read almost everything by this author, but this book has somehow missed my notice! Thanks for the reminder:-)
Thank you! I only "found" him a couple of years ago, so I'm having loads of fun working through his back catalogue – what a great writer he is! 😀
Oh this sounds fascinating. I've only read one other of his books, but if this was his 'breakthrough' book i should definitely fit it in!
I've still only read a handful of his books, but I've loved every one so far – he's become one of my favourite authors. And this is a real goodie…
One of the reasons I love reading your reviews is you challenge my preconceptions about the books/authors that I have discounted out of hand. For some unknown reason I have always dismissed this author as not being for me, without any real idea of what he wrote about – and then I find out it is something that I am likely to be interested in after all! Fantastic review and thank you
Aw, thank you! What a lovely compliment! 😀 I think he's got more into writing about actual historical events and people these days, but his earlier books like this one are great, well written thrillers set in a historical background. This and Enigma would be the ones I'd recommend to a "beginner"… 😀
It's a really interesting choice to have characters who don't remember the way it was and so just accept the regime they're under. Although it's alternative history it doesn't sound gimmicky. You've made this appeal to me a lot more!
I thought so too – it allowed him to give a much more realistic picture of life under a totalitarian regime, I thought. I love Harris – although he writes thrillers, they're so much more than that – I always stick him in my fiction index rather than my crime one. I suspect you'd love either this or the one about the Dreyfus affair – An Officer and a Spy…
This isn't the kind of book I would normally pick up, but it does sound exciting!
I always say my middle name's Eclectic, so all kinds of books turn up here! But I must say, though Harris writes thrillers, the quality of them always means I think of them more as literary fiction. He's become one of my favourite authors over the last couple of years.
Sounds good! A rather funny depiction of this same idea is the German film "Him" in which Hitler suddenly wakes up at the site of his WWII bunker in modern day Berlin and proceeds to wreak havoc.
I'm glad you mentioned the fictionalized real people in other books. My book club read Man in the High Castle last summer, and there was a huge divide in those who cared about the book and those who didn't. It was the folks in their 60s and 70s who liked the novel because they knew a lot about all the minions in Hitler's regime, but the rest of us felt lost.
I also dislike when authors do that if I do remember the characters, because it distracts me – I keep thinking would s/he really have said/done that? I much prefer fully fictionalised characters in books like this. Real characters might be OK in books set much longer ago, when we don't know how they would have behaved…

FF, I love the found of this 😀
It's great – I'm pretty sure you'd love it! 😀
The Second Sleep by Robert Harris – FictionFan's Book Reviews says:

Commercial variants (501-D)
Military variants (T56)
Allison T56 variants
Range of American turboprop aircraft engines
Allison T-56 on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum, Pensacola
Turboprop/turboshaft
Allison Engine Company
Rolls-Royce Holdings
The Allison T56 turboprop engine has been developed extensively throughout its production run, the many variants are described by the manufacturer as belonging to four main series groups.
Initial civil variants (Series I) were designed and produced by the Allison Engine Company as the 501-D and powered the Lockheed C-130 Hercules. Later variants (Series II,III, 3,5 and IV) gave increased performance through design refinements.
Further derivatives of the 501-D/T56 were produced as turboshafts for helicopters including a variant with a United States military aircraft engine designation of T701, which was developed for the canceled Boeing Vertol XCH-62 project.
501-D10
The initial civil variant, which was proposed in 1955 with 3,750 equivalent shp (2,800 kW) of power at a brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of 0.54 lb/(hp⋅h) (0.24 kg/(hp⋅h); 0.33 kg/kWh), a two-stage gearbox with a reduction ratio of 12.5:1, a 14-stage axial flow compressor with a compression ratio over 9:1, a four-stage turbine, and a 13+1⁄2 ft diameter (4.11 m), three-blade Aeroproducts A6341FN-215 propeller.[1]
(Series I) Commercial version of the T56-A-1 used on the Lockheed L-188 Electra, but using kerosene as the primary fuel and JP4 as the alternate (instead of JP4 as primary and gasoline as secondary), and with the gearbox reduction ratio increased to 13.54 from 12.5, which lowers the propeller blade tip speed by 8 percent to 721 ft/s (220 m/s; 427 kn; 492 mph; 791 km/h) for the 13 ft 6 in (4.11 m) Aeroproducts 606 propeller; 3,750 equivalent shp (2,800 kW) power rating at sea level takeoff, 14-stage axial compressor, 6 cannular combustion chambers, and 4-stage turbine; 13,820 rpm shaft and 1,780 °F (970 °C; 2,240 °R; 1,240 K) turbine inlet temperature;[2] certified on September 12, 1957.[3]

With their composed performance, Argentina showcased absolute class on the field by thrashing New Zealand 3-0 to clinch three more points and seal their quarter-finals spot in the ongoing Men's Hockey World Cup here at Kalinga Stadium on Monday.
Agustin Mazzilli, Lucas Vila and Lucas Martinez's goals displayed Argentina's dominant performance to retain their spot at the top of Pool A.
There was not much to differentiate between both the sides in the opening exchanges as New Zealand and Argentina's defenses kept cancelling out each other. However, Argentina slowly gained more possession with New Zealand defending deep in the first quarter.
Argentina, in the 16th minute, got the first shot on the goal in the second quarter through Vila's shot at the far post. But New Zealand goalkeeper Richard Joyce made a good save with his right glove to keep the ball out.
A lapse of judgment from Argentine captain Pedro Ibarra in the 18th minute resulted in a penalty corner for the Kiwi side but Kane Russell's drag flick was dealt well by the defense.
Mazzilli, in the 23rd minute, took the lead for Argentina before going into half-time with a superb reverse stick into the top left corner.
In the third quarter, Argentina again displayed how flexible they were by launching a counter-attack and seized back the possession. Vila doubled the lead for his side with an emphatic finish at the near post. In the 41st minute of the match, the forward tussled with Blair Tarrant on the edge of the circle and smashed it to the right top corner before ending the third quarter.
Argentina sacrificed pace for skills and patience in this match. Their passing and dribbling inside the final quarter have been on spot with Vila, Juan Lopez and Agustin Mazzilli making things look easy with their stick-work.
While, in the 51st minute, New Zealand, which was looking for an opening, created a flurry of chances. Martinez scored from a penalty corner as Gonzalo Peillat's back pass reached the forward at the far post who fumbled, but managed to put the ball behind the net from close range. In the end, Argentina outclassed New Zealand by 3-0.
Argentina will next meet France, while New Zealand will cross swords with Spain in their Pool A final fixture on December 6.

Q: I'm encountering a problem while executing 3 printf() statements #include <stdio.h>

int main() {

    char v1,v2,v3;
    printf("enter: ");
    scanf("%c",&v1);
    printf("enter: ");
    scanf("%c",&v2);
    printf("enter: ");
    scanf("%c",&v3);

}

this is my sample code and I expect an output like:
enter: a
enter: b
enter: c

but I'm getting output like:
enter: a
enter: enter:

2nd and 3rd print statements are getting executed simultaneously.

A: The problem is that you're reading characters, so if what you enter is actually aEnterbEntercEnter, that is actually SIX characters, and what you read will be the first 3 (the a, the Enter, and the b)
What you can do is use a space in the scanf format to skip whitespace.  If you use scanf(" %c", &v1); then any whitespace (such as Enter) will be skipped, which will cause your result to be what you expect.  However, if someone enters something like spaceEnter, the program will seem to hang, waiting for non-whitespace to be entered

A: The problem lies in buffering. Read this question, which was already mentioned in the comments.
TL,DR: Use scanf(" %c", &v); to read chars, since it ignores all whitespace from the buffer, as well as the trailing newline.

A: Hello what I would recommend is using a library that allows you to use a function called get_char.
I wrote a program using this function that does what you wanted yours to do.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <cs50.h>

int main(void)
{
  char v1 = get_char("enter: ");
  char v2 = get_char("enter: ");
  char v3 = get_char("enter: ");
}

So the program stores 3 char values as they are entered one after another, without all executing at once. I don't know if this is the type of answer that you are looking for or if it will help you, but I figured I would put this out there. If its not really what your looking for let me know!
This is what the terminal looks like btw.:
$ make help
$ ./help
enter: a
enter: b
enter: c

NEWSROOM: Tetra Tech
CAMPAIGN: Industry-leading expertise and a passion for our work
The Women's Forum of New York will recognize Tetra Tech at its Breakfast of Corporate Champions on November 7, 2019, for achieving at least 30 percent female board representation. This biennial event brings together more than 600 CEOs, board directors, and government officials in support of one shared goal—achieving 50/50 gender parity in the boardroom by 2025.
With a corporate board of 30 percent female members, Tetra Tech exceeds the national average for female-held board seats, which is currently 23.4 percent. Tetra Tech also has met California's 2021 requirement to have three women on the board of directors early.
"On behalf of the Women's Forum of New York and our more than 500 members who have achieved at the highest levels in every professional sector, we salute Tetra Tech for actively enhancing its boardroom diversity and increasing its percentage of woman-occupied board seats to 30 percent," said Janice Ellig, CEO of the Ellig Group and Chair and Founder of the Breakfast of Corporate Champions. "Tetra Tech is part of a growing number of forward-thinking companies that are raising the bar and accelerating the United States towards the goal of gender parity by 2025."
Tetra Tech's commitment to diversity extends beyond the boardroom to all areas of the company's business. As detailed in our Diversity & Inclusion Policy, Tetra Tech is committed to creating a safe work environment where all employees are included, treated with dignity and respect, and placed in positions to contribute to our future success. Our efforts include advancing women in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and sparking an interest in STEM among female students. Through Tetra Tech's Professional Women's Network and other professional development programs, we support employees of all backgrounds and stages of their careers to further their development goals.
Tetra Tech will join 323 S&P 500/Fortune 1000 companies that will be honored at the 2019 Breakfast of Corporate Champions in November in New York City. The event will include an impressive lineup of leading CEOs and directors who will speak about why gender balance in the boardroom is a strategic business imperative and how to accelerate the path toward parity.

The end of 2017 and the beginning of the new year have been rather cold down South.
Well, that also means, naturally, it has been cold up North, too.
And when one faces cold temps, going outside or hitting the road, is not always a priority.
But sometimes there isn't any alternative.
So I will harken back to the weekend before Christmas when we were in Marietta, GA.
It was cold, but not snowing at the time.
The city's downtown square had that holiday atmosphere.
Christmas decorations adorned the area, Santa was keeping warm and entertaining children in a building on the square. And others who really enjoy the cold, were ice skating there.
And the town square was just that. Hundreds were out and about shopping, browsing or enjoying the variety of gastronomic offerings of the various eateries in the area.
My wife and I enjoyed a feast at a local place and then I strolled around the square snapping a few pictures.


It's not just a job, it's an adventure.
Driving our charter buses and vans is one of the most fulfilling careers because you can see nothing but beauty when you're out enjoying the elements. Here at ecoShuttle, you can enjoy a career with growth opportunities. We guarantee you will work with great management and even better driver team members!

Voronkiv () is an urban-type settlement in northern Ukraine, located in Boryspil Raion of Kyiv Oblast.

History

The Olizar family inherited this village and the surrounding lands, then later leased it to Sophia Teofila Danylovychivna, leading to many legal court proceedings surrounding the ownership of the village.

During the Holodomor, this village, like many others throughout Ukraine, experienced widespread hunger, leading to numerous deaths from starvation.
