Could the Wehrmacht have taken Moscow in the fall of 1941 and won the war? What if Manstein had broken through to Stalingrad to help Paulus' army, and Zhukov had managed to win a decisive victory in the "Rzhev meat grinder"? Was it possible to avoid the tank battle at Prokhorovka and defeat the Germans on the Kursk Bulge with less blood? Did the Red Army have a chance to build on its success after Operation Bagration and end the war in 1944?
Everyone who is interested in World War II has probably asked these "damned questions", but in professional circles the study of historical alternatives is considered a non-serious and disrespectful activity - not to the face of a respected scholar, except for some fiction writer. This book by a leading military historian proves otherwise, raising the game of "if" to the level of academic science for the first time and answering the most complex and controversial questions of the Great Patriotic War.
