What if British prime minister Neville Chamberlain had defied
Hitler? What if the Munich Accord had gone unsigned, and Nazi
Germany had launched its bid for conquest sooner? How would World
War II have unfolded--and with what consequences? Dean of alternate
history Harry Turtledove has the stunning answers in his
breathtaking sequel to "Hitler's War."
In the wake of Hitler's bold invasion of Czechoslovakia, nations
turn against nations, old enemies form new alliances, and ordinary
men and women confront extraordinary life-and-death situations. An
American marine falls in love with a Russian dancer in
Japanese-held Singapore, as Chinese guerilla resistance erupts. A
sniper on the frontlines of France finds a powerful new way to ply
his deadly art--while a German assassin hunts him. In the icy North
Atlantic, as a U-boat with a secret weapon wreaks havoc on British
ships, occupying Nazi forces target Denmark. And in Germany, a
stranded American woman encounters Hitler himself, as a Jewish
family faces the rising tide of hatred. From Siberia to Spain,
armies clash, sides are chosen, new weapons raise the deadly ante,
and new strategies seek to break a growing stalemate. But one
question hangs over the conflict from West to East: What will it
take to bring America into this war?
