Although separated from the modern reader by a full century, the
First World War continues to generate controversy and interest as
the great event upon which modern history pivoted. Not only did the
war cull the European peoples of some of their best and brightest,
it also led to the destruction of the Austro-Hungarian, German,
Ottoman and Russian empires, and paved the way for the Second World
War. This thought-provoking book explores ten alternate scenarios
in which the course of the war is changed forever. How would the
war have changed had the Germans not attacked France but turned
their main thrust against Russia; had the Greeks joined the allies
at Gallipoli; or had the British severed the communications of the
Ottoman Empire at Alexandretta? What if there was a more decisive
outcome at Jutland; if the alternative plans for the Battle of the
Somme in 1916 had been put into effect; or if the Americans
intervened in 1915, rather 1917? Expertly written by leading
military historians, this is a compelling and credible look at what
might have been.
