1940: In Europe Hitler’s original plans to start a war the year before have been delayed, giving Germany another year to build up its vast military strength.

The Allies, by contrast, continue to try and appease the dictator in vain hopes of avoiding a repeat of the First World War. Prime Minister Chamberlain attempts to negotiate a treaty before things get too far out of control.

Meanwhile, Winston Churchill tries desperately to rally his country in order to meet the threat that he knows is coming. Elsewhere, Japan’s war in China continues to ravage that country.

Millions are already dead and now the Japanese eye Siberia and the East Indies as prizes to be won. They also understand that their aggression may very well bring them into conflict with the United States.

In America, President Roosevelt watches as the situation unfolds and begins making his own country’s plans if they have to fight.

From Europe to the Far East the world seems to be teetering on the brink of another global conflict. Atrocities committed by Japanese troops on Chinese civilians are just a warm-up for crimes to come.

A delayed war could have given the Axis Powers the edge they needed in order to achieve a victory!

Will America’s vast industry and resources be enough to support its allies?

Will Britain survive against a Germany much stronger than it otherwise would have been in 1939?

A single delay in planning could very well change history...

Interesting historical fiction with a twist.

Above average for this subset of the genre. I enjoyed the listen, though virt voice and 'polish' don't mix...

Good story.

it was good, though not super creative. Could have fictionalized more. I do plan to continue reading the next book.
