The master of alternative history asks the question, 'What if the second world war had started in 1938?'...The results are thrilling. As the summer of 1938 ends, the two sides of the Spanish civil war are still locked in a blood-soaked stalemate; Stalin's purge of the Red Army is barely underway. And Neville Chamberlain - sickened by the arrogance and duplicity of the Germans who have brought him to Munich - does not return to London waving the piece of paper that would deliver the arms factories of Czechoslovakia to Hitler and postpone the war until 1939. On October 1, German tanks cross the Czech frontier, touching off declarations of war from France, from England, and from the USSR. Poland, fearing the Russians more than Hitler, declares war on the German side. Soon Fascist Spain attacks Gibraltar, the Japanese army crosses the Manchurian frontier into Siberia...and the British Army sets off for France, which has launched a pre-emptive attack on the Rhineland. The war we know as World War II has begun - a year early, and in an entirely different way'

'With shocking vividness, Turtledove demonstrates the extreme fragility of our modern world ... This is state-of-the-art alternate history, nothing less' -- Publishers Weekly on HOW FEW REMAIN) 'Turtledove plays heady games with actual history, scattering object lessons and bitter ironies along the way. Strong, complex characters against a sweeping alt-historical background.' -- Kirkus Reviews on RETURN ENGAGEMENTS 'Good fun. It has an authentic speculative quality, energy and dash.' -- Time Out on A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE 'Engrossing ... definitely the work of one of alternate history's authentic modern masters ... totally fascinating.' -- Booklist on THE GREAT WAR series
