This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel The Man In The High Castle

It focuses specifically on the power struggles going on within the Third Reich of the alternate history in the 1960s, as the current chancellor and Führer Martin Bormann dies. The main Nazi leaders who are in the running for becoming the next chancellor and head of the Nazi party are Hermann Göring, Joseph Goebbels, Reinhard Heydrich, Baldur von Schirach, and Arthur Seyss-Inquart.  We look at the assessments of each of these potential leaders, and also at the tendencies of the Nazi regime to promote "internecine conflict".  This leadership crisis has massive global implications for all of the characters in the novel
