John Birmingham covers a scenario like this in these books: http://www.amazon.com/Weapons-Choice-Axis-Time-Trilogy/dp/0345457137

This alt history novel series is an excellent read. Although in this series, both the Allies and the Axis powers received tactics and technologies from the future in story.

Do you like alternate history time travel? Check out John Birmingham's Axis of Time series. :

A US-led task force off Indonesia in 2021 finds itself sent back to 1942, just prior to the Battle of Midway. The novels deal with a rapidly altered version of World War II, and to a lesser extent the social changes that result amongst the Allied powers.

It won't at all.

I'd say the show ran through the book material before season 1 even ended.

If you're interested in some other alternate history / Scifi, I can recommend a series more in the style of Tom Clancy than Phillip K Dick. Axis of Time Trilogy. It's more action orientated and there is time travel involved, but I found it checks a lot of the same boxes MITHC does in keeping my attention.

I would suggest Axis of Time trilogy. Its a time travel story where a multi-national America led armada in 2021 has time traveled into 1942.

Which two cultures clash? 2020's highly liberalized America and 1940s highly conservative society.

> Thousands died in the chaos, but the ripples had only begun. For these veterans of Pearl Harbor—led by Admirals Nimitz, Halsey, and Spruance—have never seen a helicopter, or a satellite link, or a nuclear weapon. And they’ve never encountered an African American colonel or a British naval commander who was a woman and half-Pakistani. While they embrace the armada’s awesome firepower, they may find the twenty-first century sailors themselves far from acceptable.

The 1940s people are totally shocked by an African American Lesbian officer. Some local people revolt against them, FDR wants to utilize them to win the war. Einstein is horrified to find out about Holocaust being committed in Europe. J Edgar Hoover is super pissed to hear about people from the future spreading rumors about him being gay. Well I don't wanna give too many spoilers, but its a pretty amazing culture clash story.

This one is backwards but a great book. Weapons of Choice Basically a 2021 battle group gets transported into the battle of midway in the middle of WWII. Changing the course of history.
