Biografische Anmerkung

A ground-breaking approach to history where YOU choose the fate of WWII - perfect for readers of Bletchley Park Brainteasers and The GCHQ Puzzle Book.
''An original and exciting approach . . . Buckley is one of our very finest historians.' JAMES HOLLAND

TAKE THE HOTSEAT
Assume the role of real Generals, Leaders, Soldiers and Intelligence Officers in the Allied Forces during WWII, including Winston Churchill and President Eisenhower.
EXAMINE THE INTELLIGENCE

CONSIDER THE SCENARIO & MAKE YOUR DECISION
From battlefields to war cabinets, each tactical and strategic decision you make leads to a different outcome.
Will you follow the path of the past - or shape a new history?
