What if Stalin had signed with the West in 1939?What if the Allies had been repulsed on D-Day?And what if Hitler had won the war?In this expertly written book, historians suggest what might have been if key events during the war had gone differently, from the Munich Crisis to the dropping of the first atom bomb, including Hitler's declaration of war on the United States and the D-Day landings. The authors, writing as if these and other world-changing events had really happened, project realistic scenarios based on the true capabilities and circumstances of the opposing forces. If The Allies Had Fallen is a spirited and terrifying alternate history, and a telling insight into the dramatic possibilities of World War II.THE CONTRIBUTORS: Thomas M. Barker, Carlo D'Este, Harold C. Deutsch, Walter S. Drea, Walter S. Dunn, David M. Glantz, Robert M. Love, Peter Hoffmann, D. Clayton James, John K. Munholland, Bernard C. Nalty, Samuel J.

I Feel Cheated--- This title is a **REPRINT** with New Cover ART & Title!!!
3. Juni 2010
Von Charles Douglas Ward
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I waited and waited for this book, and looked forward to a great read. DON'T WASTE YOUR $$$$ ON THIS !!!!
This book was **originally published** under the title: "What If? Strategic Alternatives of WWII" in 1997.
What did I get for my $$?
A) New Cover Art...
B) A New Cover Title...
C) A New Introduction...
I think it's a waste of book shelf space. I re-read the write up for this book, and *no where* did it state it was a 'reprint.' *Did* I miss it? If so, please point it out...

Very Interesting, worth reading
17. August 2010
Von book fan

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Very interesting book. Several major historians check in and give their opinions on "what would have happened if...". For example, had France&England invaded Germany while the German Army was busy with Poland; or had an early assassination of Hitler succeeded; or had The U.S. been ready for the Pearl Harbor attack. And many others.
I'm just about done with the book and I read it fast, which means it kept my interest greatly.
Why 4 stars and not 5? Well, there is a question posed, what if the Allies invaded France in 1942 or 1943. I so disagree with the historians' conclusions here that i simply have to deduct a star from the book! I won't say what their conclusions are, read the book!
It's definitely worth reading.

this book is better than its customer rating

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I almost didn't look at it because it had a one star rating -- because of a complaint unrelated to the quality of the book.
Showalter's work is always first-rate, and public reviewers praise this book. This is obviously a book that anyone interested in serious alternative World War II history will want to read.
