TAKE THE HOTSEAT
Assume the role of real generals, leaders, soldiers and intelligence officers in the Allied Forces during WWII, including Winston Churchill and President Eisenhower.

EXAMINE THE INTELLIGENCE
Explore eight key moments of the war with real contemporaneous intelligence: Britain's Darkest Hour, 1940; The War in North Africa; Stalin's War on the Eastern Front; The Pacific Battle of Midway; The Dresden Bomber Offensive; Casablanca; Arnhem and Operation Market Garden; The Bomb and Hiroshima.

CONSIDER THE SCENARIO & MAKE YOUR DECISION
From battlefields to war cabinets, each tactical and strategic decision you make leads to a different outcome.

What might have happened if Poland was never invaded? Or if Hiroshima never happened? Or if the great evacuation at Dunkirk was scrapped? Would the war have turned out differently? Would Hitler have won? Armchair General airdrops you the reader into the key historical moments and turning points of WWII - from the outbreak of war to D-Day - and thrusts you into the role of decision-maker.

Will you follow on the path of history? Or will you journey on an alternative, but equally plausible reality?
