On 30 September 1941, the Germans fight their way into the ruins of Moscow and the Soviet Union collapses. Although Russian resistance continues, German ambition multiplies after this success and offensives are launched in Africa, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Hitler's armies, assured of victory, make their leader's dreams reality and Allied hopes of recovery seem almost hopelessly doomed.
This provocative alternative history looks at the Second World War from a new angle - what might have happened had the Germans taken Moscow in 1941. Based on authentic history and real possibilities, this speculative narrative plays out the dramatic consequences if certain opportunities had been taken and examines the grotesque possibilities of a triumphant Third Reich. With a convincing blend of actual history and alternate events, this fascinating book is a chilling reminder that history might easily have been very different.
