A review by emeraldgarnet
The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon

4.0

As alternate histories go, 'The Yiddish Policemen's Union' is an original premise. Here you will not find a victorious Hitler or a surviving Confederate States of America. Instead, we read about a short-lived State of Israel and a large community of Jewish refugees in Alaska.

The novel's hardboiled detective theme makes for a riveting read.
