Circle of Willis

You know, I can’t help but wonder if it’d be more appropriate to make an “FDR: Aspiring Dictator” thread instead?

He may not have turned the US into an American Reich or People’s Republic of States, exactly. But even tabling the New Deal and its unprecedented expansion of the federal government, he certainly passed a slew of semi-dictatorial measures throughout his tenure, and — unlike Lincoln or Wilson — did actually die something of a “President for Life” figure after breaking the two-term precedent.

Hi, Circle. Had a few TL outlines in the works, and was wondering if I could share them with you via PM sometime?

Thank you in advance,

So, how goes it in the Great White North? Things are just as chaotic up there as down here in the States, I imagine.

Something sinister must be afoot, eh?

Actually, since you wrote a TL on his victory, I don't suppose you have any book recommendations on Thomas Dewey?

I don't much about him, but he strikes me as an interesting guy, especially given the contrast between OTL and what a "special" president he is in IYTL. (Any recommendations you might have for the Fifties in general would also be appreciated, if you're so inclined.)

Oops, just realized I must’ve taken you off of Follow by mistake.

Sorry about that!

Hi, again.

As something of a follow-up to my last profile post here, I don't suppose you have any historical reading you'd recommend? At the moment, I'm mostly interested in Antiquity, Soviet history, and US history, though I'm happy to give anything else you'd like to mention a read. (Especially works that discuss inconveniently "memory-holed" facts the powers that be would like us to forget about, if you know what I mean. )

Thank you in advance,
Zyobot

Out of curiosity, have you ever thought about writing any Russian or Soviet history TLs?

If so, I'm interested to see your take on Kaganovich's USSR. Perhaps Heir to the Red Tsar would be a good title, if you ever go through with it?
