One of the only Nazi alt-histories I can stomach because a) its got that PKD freakiness in it and b) it has so thoroughly thought out what point it wants to make and carved out the niche its trying to depict in this world (that is, the americana art dealing world to talk about cultural capital and "authenticity"). 

Also I could give a 30 minute presentation about the many covers of this book

Worth reading for the shock value of the alt-history alone.
Each character's perspective is a rather interesting take on the world they live in. They way's they've adapated, their thought processes marred or unchanged based off the the society they live in. One character in particular goes on for a page and a half trying to understand the apathy and destructive nature of evil men which was quite interesting to ready. Well written ambigous characters. Still a little confused as to the what is being said by the ending.
