Product Overview
Mackseys blend of what actually happened and what might have been makes for a piece of writing comparable to Frederick Forsyth at his best. Jack Higgins
Convincingly described and excellently illustrated. The Daily Telegraph
In June 1940, German troops massed across the Channel, poised for the invasion of Britain. With France defeated and Britain cowed, Hitler seemed ready for his greatest gamble.
In this brilliant and compelling alternate history the Germans launch the invasion that, in reality, was never more than a plan. Landing between Dover and Hythe, German troops push inland supported by the Luftwaffe and the impregnable panzers, and strike out towards London. The British, desperate to defeat the invaders, rally and prepare for a crucial confrontation at Maidstone.
Realistic, carefully researched and superbly written, this best-selling study is a classic of alternate history and a thought-provoking look at how Britains war might have been.
