It is June 1944. The Allied armies are poised for the full-scale invasion of Fortress Europe. Across the Channel, the vaunted Wehrmacht lies waiting for the first sign of invasion, ready for the final battle. What happened next is well-known to any student of modern history – but the outcome could have been very different, as Peter Tsouras shows in this devastasting account of a D-Day in which plans, missions and landings go horribly wrong. Disaster at D-Day is an alternate history of the Allied D-Day landings, based very firmly on fact and is a brilliant study of how a campaign could lead to unexpected results. Peter Tsouras introduces minor adjustments at the opening of the campaign – the repositioning of a unit, bad weather and misjudged orders – and examines their effect as they gather momentum and impact upon all subsequent events. Without deviating from the genuine possibilities of the situation, he presents a scenario that keeps the reader guessing and changes the course of history. Peter G Tsouras is a senior analyst at the US Army National Ground Intelligence Center. His other books include Gettysburg: An Alternate History, Third Reich Victorious and Cold War Hot. He is also the editor of Greenhill’s forthcoming Dixie Victorious. Disaster at D-Day, together with Dawn of D-Day and The German Army at D-Day will all be published as part of the 60th anniversary anniversary celebrations.
