Synopsis Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen follow up their bestselling parallel-reality Civil War series with a World War II novel that imagines the results of a more successful Japanese assault on Pearl Harbor. Combining extensive historical knowledge with inspired speculation, Gingrich and Forstchen provide a detailed description of the build-up to war (starting with Japan's invasion of China in the 1930s), and then create a highly plausible scenario of what would have happened if the aggressive Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto had led the surprise attack rather then the more conservative Admiral Nagumo.
