Reseña del editor:

Alternate scenarios based on real events and characters 'What ifs' played out realistically with radical outcomes Written by eleven renowed military historians Based on a series of fascinating 'What ifs' posed by leading military historians, this compelling new alternate history recontructs the moments during the Battle of the Bulge which could conceivably have altered the entire course of the Second World War and led to a German victory. Based on real battles, actions and characters, each scenario has been carefully constructed to reveal how at points of decision a different choice or minor incident could have set in motion an entirely new train of events altering history for ever. What if the Germans successfully prevented Patton from riding to the rescue at Bastogne? Or if the Allies had suffered a major setback at the Battle of the Bulge which allowed the Red Army to overrun Berlin and drive on to the Rhine? What if Hitler had not launched his massive gambit and, instead, the Allies had progressed with the operations plan they had prior to the Bulge? These are some of the intriguing scenarios played out by leading authors. PETER G. TSOURAS is a respected military historian and has written a number of books including Disaster at D-Day, The Greenhill Dictionary of Military Quotations and (as editor and contributing author), Rising Sun Victorious, Dixie Victorious and Cold War Hot. Other contributors include JOHN PRADOS, editor of The White House Tapes: Eavesdropping on the President, ANDREW UFFINDELL, author of On the Fields of Glory: The Battlefields of the 1815 Campaign and DAVID ISBY, editor of Fighting the Invasion and The Luftwaffe Fighter Force.
