Finity by John Barnes

A good alternate history that I read twenty years ago. I thought this copy was a different book than the one I read that starts out with Nazis being the bad guys in a many world scenario of science fiction. However, the blurb would have you believe that this book is about a Soviet takeover in the 1970s which is one of the many worlds in the book. After reading the book I remember that these books are the same with alternate covers and blurbs. Really misjudged a book by its cover this time.

Let me be clear I always view Nazis as a greater political threat than Stalinists though I dislike both."
