Abstract
Based on reasonable alternatives grounded in what is known of the time, places, and participants, Jeffrey Gurock presents a concise narrative of his imagined war-time saga and the events that followed Hitler’s military failures. This alternate history—where, among many scenarios, Hitler is assassinated, Japan does not bomb Pearl Harbor, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt is succeeded after two terms by Robert A. Taft—does cause us to review and better appreciate history. As Gurock tells his tale, he concludes every chapter with a short section that describes what actually happened and, thus, further educates the reader.
