The Iron Dream
Norman Spinrad
Science fiction, 255 pages

The Iron Dream is Norman Spinrad's clever pisstake on the sort of golden age pulp sf so beloved by a certain sort of reactionary sf fan.

The Iron Dream's central gimmick is that it's the novel that made Adolf Hitler famous as a science fiction writer. Spinrad postulates an alternative history in which Hitler, after dabbling in radical politics, emigrated to the US and became a pulp writer. Rather then telling a story set in this AH world, Spinrad insteads presents his take on what Hitler would've written, in the process providing a political comment on the old pulp stories.

As such, it's hard to call it a good book. The story itself is overtly simplistic, the style in which it written over the top and pulpish and the underling philosophy revolting. All of which was done on purpose.
