This is no ordinary book. It is the world that could have been.
Written in the style of a high-school textbook, this work reconstructs, with precision and detail, an alternate history in which Nazi Germany triumphed in World War II.
But it doesn't just speculate about a single battle: it sets up a key turning point and follows it through to its ultimate consequences.
It explains how a German victory in Europe was possible, and how that triumph altered the balance of the world, transforming politics, science, technology and everyday life in every corner of the planet.
A book that reads like a novel, is studied like an essay, and is discovered to be a warning.
