There is no summer doldrums for this category if you are willing to look. I found plenty of great pieces that are ending soon in the United States category.
I have been binge watching the Amazon Prime tv show "Man In The High Castle" which imagines a world where the USA lost WWII. The Germans control the United States east of the Rockies. Needless to say for a WWII nut it's a really interesting show of what if.
In the tv show I mentioned the Japanese empire controls what they call the "Pacific States". The show takes a pretty deep dive on Japanese culture and how that would intersect with a fictional world where the Nazis are a threat while a home grown resistance pushes back against occupation.
I always close out the newsletter with a sneak peek at the WWI category to see what's shaking. I look for about a dozen live auctions that are getting bids and ending in the next few days. These picks certainly fit the bill.
