This book initially talks at length about the wasted time, the time after the fall of France, when the Germans were at the zenith of their military prowess and the Allies hadn't yet figured it out. As identified in the book there were waste chances, primarily in the Mediterranean area, and the foolish strategies in Russia in 1941 & 1942. After that point the book is pretty much pointless as the only differences were more tactical in nature rather than strategic, I.E. better distribution of forces in France and a quicker response to the allied invasion in 1944, so what, at that point the war was already lost and any military improvements would have only prolonged the war, not won it. All in all a good and reasonably accurate 60% of the whole book, the second part is filler.
I think this is a well thought out book. Although it could have taken a few more steps with its conclusions, you always run the risk of getting too far away from facts and into the fantastical. I think it is a good read and worth the money.
The book brings an integrated picture of WW2, and explain the advantages of the German Army during 1939-1942. The style is very friendly to the reader. I recommend it
Good book. Very accurate to tell how Hitler and the Third Reich lost the war and how they could have won. The book just doesn't go to the roots and the real causes of the first two world wars. Another words if you're a good or a renowned historian you know what to and what not to write about and controversial times because that's money and sales and people not boycotting you. "Post world war anti German propaganda.". The victors write history."
The most convincing part of this book is the claim that the way to deal with the Soviet Union was not a frontal assault in 1941 but a Mediterranean campaign to drive the British out of Egypt and occupy all the Middle East with their huge oil reserves. Hitler's strategic mistake is dated as April 21 1941 as the Balkans campaigns were winding down. He had decided to attack Crete rather than Malta which meant that the Mediterranean theater was doomed to be a sideshow as he prepared to attack Russia directly. Once Hitler had decided on a two front war with Britain still defiant and with America in the wings, the author says, the war was irrevocably lost. The book also covers Hitler's other blunders, although there is a lot of straightforward military narrative - particularly on the Eastern Front - which could perhaps have been pruned. There is some analysis in the book which was new to this reviewer, including Hitler's nonsensical interest in capturing the Azores, the Canaries and the Cape Verde Islands whose strategic value he greatly overestimated. Bevin Alexander's interpretation of his theme is an interesting contrast with Richard Ovary's book on why the allies won.
In this keenly researched and finely analyzed essay, the author makes many good points and raises several powerful arguments. Begins with an analysis of what der Fuehrer did right (conquest of Poland and the West) and takes up the counter-argument at the point he began to go terribly wrong (by ordering the unnecessary attack on Crete while ignoring the much more strategically important island of Malta). With the benefit of hindsight, it is always easy to say, as many post-war writers have, that Hitler should never have ordered Barbarossa; but this was realized by nearly the whole of Hitler's officer corps, who almost as one tried to warn him beforehand of the dangers of campaigning in the immensity of Russia (as a corporal in WW1 Hitler, unlike many of his Generals, had spent the war in France and probably had no concept what war in the endless miles of steppe in the East involved; in terrain that merely opens like a gigantic funnel of thousands of miles of steppe, swamp and forest to engulf any army bold enough to invade). The author makes many fascinating arguments and poses several questions that will never be answered such as: What if Hitler had listened to his expert commanders, including military geniuses such as Admiral Raeder, Rommel, Guderian and von Manstein and simply called off Barbarossa in favor of a Mediterranean strategy instead? (Amazingly, towards the end of Manstein's own memoirs "Lost Battles" ,he dismisses out of hand, the whole idea of a Mediterranean strategy! From someone who was key to Hitler's strategy from the beginning to late 1944, and who certainly knew better, this argument is false). The author points out the many advantages of this strategy if Hitler had simply NOT turned East: a quick capture of the Suez canal, then all of North Africa (quickly resulting in German occupation of the SOUTH side of the striaghts of Gibralter, thus turning the Mediterranean into an Axis lake!), and thereafter securing German surplus of the life-blood of the Wehrmacht - oil - by another quick conquest of the middle-east oil fields in Iran, Syria and the Kingdom... after which the Germans would have no need to attack Russia as they would effectively threaten the Soviet Union from the south, thus in the author's view, bottling up Russia and Turkey as well as completely driving out the British from the Mediterranean and Africa, while allowing German access to the south Atlantic (allowing German aircraft and U-boats a greater operating radius from western Africa).The author makes many great arguments (although he seems to assume that the British and Russians would be inert through all this and doesn't even speculate at their possible counter-moves while Germany is busy carrying out this strategy).The author's arguments are not perfect, however, he raises many interesting questions as to "what if"...But for all its flaws, this book is fascinating reading about "what if" - and perhaps raises enough speculation for yet another book on the topic. thankfully, we will never know how whether a strategy as outlined in this book, would have resulted in a German victory in WW2 (and it might even be beneficial to write a follow-up speculating at the counter-strategy the British, Americans and Russians might have done in response to all these moves!). If you know WW2 as well as the author certainly does, you may read this book and come up with many questions of your own - and of course, there are many factors left out of the arguments and counter-arguments that might change the author's assumptions. All in all, a great book and one that could fuel a hundred discussions on the matter.
