| Summary: | "June 1944: the Allies have prepared the largest forces ever gathered for the massive, decisive invasion of Europe. Facing them on the coast of France is the might of the German Wehrmacht ... The question of 'what might have been' has fascinated authors as diverse as Saki and Len Deighton, dealing with the fictional after-effects of great battles. Disaster at D-Day, firmly based on fact is a brilliant study of how a campaign could lead to unexpected results. Peter Tsouras introduces minor alterations at the start of the operation -- the slight repositioning of a unit, the unlooked-for presence of a commander -- and examines their effects as they gather momentum and impact upon all subsequent events"--Jacket. |
