La Segunda Guerra Mundial concluyó con la derrota de la Alemania nazi en mayo de 1945. Con su visión obstinada y fanática de la realidad, y dejando tras de sí un rastro de millones de muertos, Hitler condujo a su pais al abismo. Algunas de las decisiones personales del dictador germano, como la ofensiva aerea contra Gran Bretaña, la invasion de la Union Sovietica, la renuncia a invadir Malta o la arriesgada apuesta del ataque sobre Kursk, se demostraron como graves equivocaciones, pero ¿que habria ocurrido si un Hitler mas lucido hubiera tomado otras decisiones a lo largo del conflicto? En este conjunto de trabajos, seleccionados por Peter G. Tsouras, se reconstruyen momentos clave en los que la contienda pudo dar un giro inesperado, basandose en un analisis pormenorizado de los escenarios y contemplando los diversos rumbos que pudieron tomar los acontecimientos. Este apasionante ejercicio de historia alternativa demuestra que la inquietante hipotesis de una victoria de la Alemania de Hitler estuvo cerca de convertirse en una ominosa realidad.

This fascinating third volume in the Britannias Fist series will have you pondering how easily history could have been swayed differently.What if other countries had become involved in Americas Civil War? Historian Peter G. Tsouras presents the third installment in his Britannias Fist alternate history series. The winter of 1863 lowered a white curtain on the desperate struggle for North America. The United States and Great Britain fought each other to a bitter draw. On both sides of the Atlantic, the forges of battle glowed as they poured out new technologies of war. British and French aid transformed the ragged Confederate armies and filled them with new confidence. Both sides strained to be ready for the coming campaign season. Both sides seek to anticipate each other.The British strike suddenly at Hookers strung-out army in winter quarters in upstate New York in a brutal, swirling, late battle across frozen fields and streams. Besieged Portland shudders relentless assault. The French attack Fort Hudson on the Mississippi. At Lincolns direction, two great raids are launched at the United Kingdom itself as Russia enters the war on the side of the Union to raid the Irish Sea. These are only preliminaries to the great gathering of modernized armies and ironclad fleets, and with them are deadly submersibles and balloons.Battles rage from Maine to northern Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay, down to steamy Louisiana. And far away across the sea, Dublin stands siege as Russia simultaneously eyes Constantinople. For Americans (blue and gray), Britons, Irish, Frenchmen, and Russians, the summer of 1864 is the crescendo battle of destinies and dreams.Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fictionnovels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more.

Peter G. TsourasOn 22 June 1941, the German army invaded the Soviet Union, one hundred fifty divisions advancing on three axes in a surprise attack that overwhelmed and destroyed whatever opposition the Russians were able to muster. The German High Command was under the impression that the Red Army could be destroyed west of the Dnepr River and that there would be no need for conducting operations in cold, snow, and mud. They were wrong. In reality, the extreme conditions of the German war in Russia were so brutal that past experiences simply paled before them. Everything in Russiathe land, the weather, the distances, and above all the peoplewas harder, harsher, more unforgiving, and more deadly than anything the German soldier had ever faced before. Based on the recollections of four veteran German commanders of those battles, FIGHTING IN HELL describes in detail what happened when the world's best-publicized "supermen" met the world's most brutal fighting. It is not a tale for the squeamish.
