Axis Victorious: A World Without American Intervention

De: Luke Shields

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

The history of World War II is often told as an inevitable victory for the Allies, secured by the awakening of America's industrial and military might. But what if that sleeping giant had never awakened? This book explores the chillingly plausible alternate history of a world where the United States remained a neutral spectator.

In late 1941, the Allied cause was on the brink of total collapse. Great Britain was starving under a U-boat blockade and the Soviet Union was being dismembered by the German Wehrmacht, leaving the Axis powers decisively winning the war. This book meticulously details the dire state of the world before American intervention and the true-life-or-death stakes.

This work of alternate history strips away the American-led invasions, the arsenal of democracy, and the millions of GIs who turned the tide. It charts the grim ripple effects of their absence, from the unassailable Atlantic Wall to a Pacific Ocean dominated by the Japanese Empire. Readers will follow the likely paths of a war fought to its most logical and brutal conclusions.

Discover what an Allied "victory" would have truly meant, from a continent-spanning Soviet empire to a negotiated stalemate that left fascist powers in place. This book maps the terrifying new world orders that would have emerged, from a Fortress America under siege to the permanent, global rule of an iron heel. It is the story of the world that almost was.
