The Greenhill specialisation in alternate history - some of which have been Greenhill bestsellers - is now being added to by a wholly non-fiction book coming from Emperor's Press. This is: What If? Alternate Strategies of World War II Edited by Harold Deutsch and Dennis Showalter Harold Deutsch and Dennis Showalter have assembled a team of first-rate historians, who present alternate hypotheses in a senous attempt to examine some of the key decisions of World War ll. These historians are perfectly aware that in a global struggle a single battle, piece of equipment or individual would have been unlikely to have changed events. Their emphasis is more on the subtle effects possible changes would have had and using an 'alternate strategy' approach to show why some well-known event in the war was important or unimportant. Topics examined include: What if war had come in September 1938 instead of a year later? by Harold C. Deutsch. What if the French had launched an all-out attack to help the Poles? by John K. Munholland. What if Britain had sued for peace in 1940? by Dennis E. Showalter. What if the Japanese Navy had launched a second strike against Pearl Harbor in December 1941 ? by Walter S. Drea. What if MacArthur had been left to surrender on Corregidor? by D. Clayton James and Anne Wells. What if the Allies had been repulsed on D-Day? by Harold C. Deutsch and Dennis E. Showalter. What if Hitler had left soldiering to the soldiers? by Gerhard L. Weinberg. What if no A-bomb had existed or none had been dropped? by Paul Schratz. What if the Bomber offensive against Germany had been concentrated more fully on industrial targets? by Bernard C. Nalty.
