وصف الناشر

By the author of breakout WW II era alternate history Himmler’s War and Rising Sun, a compelling alternate history thriller. After winning WW I, Germany invades America in 1920, marching through California and Texas as a desperate nation resists.

Consider another 1920: Imperial Germany has become the most powerful nation in the world. In 1914, she had crushed England, France, and Russia in a war that was short but entirely devastating.

By 1920, Kaiser Wilhelm II is looking for new lands to devour. The United States is fast becoming an economic super-power and the only nation that can conceivably threaten Germany. The U.S. is militarily inept, however, and is led by a sick and delusional president who wanted to avoid war at any price. Thus, Germany is able to ship a huge army to Mexico to support a puppet government.

Her real goal: the invasion and permanent conquest of California and Texas.

America desperately resists as the mightiest and most brutal army in the world in a battle fought on land, at sea, and in the air as enemy armies savagely marched up on California, and move north towards a second Battle of the Alamo. Only the indomitable spirit of freedom can answer the Kaiser's challenge.

At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Very good

This was a very good book it had a lot of story and it was very good for a alternated history book. It was very gruesome and sexual but it was a very good book I highly recommend this book to a friend

Excellent Book

I don't usually post a book recommendation on my Facebook, but I did with this one.
Imagine a world where Germany wins WW1 in 1915 and forces and early surrender by France and England. The next step to increasing their empire is an alliance with Mexico, and a thrust into Texas by Mexico, and by Germans into California. This is an alternate history book that is very well written that encompasses heroes of WW2, like Patton, Nimitz, Ike, MacArthur, and even an attack featuring Ameliea Earheart. The author did a great job building the real american hero's personae into the story that gives you an incite as to how they could have become the icons they did. To me, a fascinating read.
