This novel is first part of the epic alternative history of the Second World War. Stunning in its richness of military, political and lifetime details, the novel takes us to a world where the known history has changed. From Tokyo Bay to London shelters, through the streets of Warsaw, Parisian brothels and the Reich Office. It is a story about those who fight, to the death and life in trenches, tanks and planes. They kill and are killed. And about those who sent them there with a smile on their faces, or false compassion. The whole world is plunged into chaos. 1940 ends, 1941 comes. Will the British Empire sign peace with the Germans? Will Hitler hit the Soviet Union or, on the contrary? Will the United States actively join the war? Who fights whom and for what cause? Attention. The book has a new, better translation. Better does not mean good, so look into it before you buy it.
