Used Very Good(1 Copy): Maps Very Good/Very Good 8vo 0333989678 Duust jacket complete, unclipped. Black cloth with bright silver titling on spine. No ownership marks. Maps. 260 pages clean and tight. Could Napoleon have won the Battle of Waterloo? And what would have happened if he had? Or suppose Nelson had not destroyed the French fleet at Aboukir, would Napoleon have conquered India and become Emperor of the East? If Lord Cardigan had shown some initiative at Balaklava and exploited the Heavy Brigade's startling success by instantly charging with his Light Brigade there and then, the battle would have been a triumph for both the cavalry and the British army. What if Hitler had not halted his panzer forces before Dunkirk and had entrapped the entire British Expeditionary Force? How would Churchill have then defied the Wehrmacht? Or had the Fuhrer listened to Admiral Raeder in 1941 and, instead of invading Russia, powerfully reinforced Rommel's Africa Korps, capturing Egypt and the whole Middle East, how would Britain have been able to take the war into Europe? Could the Italian campaign have become the great strategic coup that Churchill sought and longed for had the Allies acted more boldly? How would a more decisive campaign, rather than the bloody slogging match it became, have affected overall Allied strategy? If by chance Hitler had been assassinated in 1944 and the German General Staff taken control, withdrawing their armies to the east and allowing only the Anglo-American forces to occupy Germany, would there have been a totally different kind of surrender? And if Eisenhower had pushed on in the spring of 1945 and taken Berlin before the Red Army, post-war summits with Stalin would have appeared in a very different light. In examining these and other contingencies, Major General Strawson brings his experience of command in war and his skill as a military historian to present us with an enthralling catalogue of chance and speculation, while emphasizing how profoundly the character of commanders influenced events and how events affected their character.
