What If ? World’s Foremost Military Historians Imagine What Might Have BeenHB/DJ

Description: Every young, southern boy, who knows the story engages in a fantasy by which, through brilliant maneuver of the confederate commanders, the south wins the Civil War. This collection of essays by famous historians, includes two such scenarios, one written by James McPherson, which proposes that it was highly unlikely that Lee special orders 191 would’ve ever been lost, and had not been lost. It is further highly likely that Lee would have secured a sounding victory in the north, and perhaps brought British recognition of the independent South. Another historian, Stephen Sears, speculates on what might have happened in the seven days battles if Jackson had been rested and fresh at Glendale, and been able to re-create the battle of CANNAE John Keegan writes that Hitler could’ve won the war by making a drive for the Middle East oil in 1941, and Stephen Ambrose postulates that D-Day could’ve resulted in a disaster for the Allies Historian, David McCullough speculates that the revolution’s Dunkirk may have occurred without the fog which permitted the Americans to escape across across the East river What if the Persians prevailed in the naval battle of Salamis in 480 BC over the Greeks ?
