Alternate Generals (2 & 3) by Harry Turtledove (ed.)
Requirements: epub or mobi reader, 1.68MB
Overview: Turtledove has been dubbed "The Master of Alternate History". Within this genre he is known both for creating original scenarios: such as survival of the Byzantine Empire; an alien invasion in the middle of the World War II; and for giving a fresh and original treatment to themes previously dealt with by other authors, such as the victory of the South in the American Civil War; and of Nazi Germany in the Second World War.
His novels have been credited with bringing alternate history into the mainstream. His style of alternate history has a strong military theme.
Genre: Science Fiction
Alternate Generals II LEADERSHIP MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE...
. . . as history demonstrates. But there are other factors at work. Would Sir Francis Drake have as easily put paid to the Spanish Armada if a typhoon hadn't softened up the enemy first? What if history were given a twist or two, and great commanders fought their greatest battles under different circumstances? Just suppose, for example, General Billy Mitchell had not been court-martialed for advocating air power, and happened to be leading training flights of warplanes at Pearl Harbor in December 1941?
As it happens, to find out the answer to that question, pick up the first book in the series, Alternate Generals, from Baen. This second volume has still more fascinating speculations, turning history upside down and inside out as leaders who have made their mark on our history make different marks in a very different world.
The possibilities are endless....
Alternate Generals III History shows that leadership is crucial in war, but there are other factors at work. What if history were given a twist or two, and great commanders on land and sea fought their greatest battles under different circumstances? Suppose General Douglas MacArthur had been captured before he could escape from Manila and became a prisoner of war? Suppose Joan of Arc had not been burned for heresy and had gone on to lead France to very different victories? Suppose Genghis Khan had been a convert to Judaism and his horde had fought for a different cause than in our universe? Turtledove and his colleagues turn the past upside down and inside out, and the possibilities are endless...

It was brought to my intention that book two was the wrong book.
That has been fixed.
