(PRWEB) April 04, 2013 Four days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on Dec. 7, 1941, Adolf Hitler declared war on America. That same day, President Roosevelt declared war on Germany, hurtling the world into another war that stretched across continents. Those actions changed history, but as this new novel proposes, what would have happened if Germany and the United States had not entered into war with each other? Who might have gained if neither side fought the other, and what kind of power could have manipulated history in that way?
Two-time Tony Award winner Mark Rylance and the cast of Nice Fish recently ventured out onto Minnesota's Silver Lake for an ice fishing expedition, a detour into a first-hand experience of the frozen north.
