Customer Reviews

Very plausible hypothesis, and very well researched.

Henshall has done an excellent job of backing up his chilling premise with archaeological and architectural fact. The handling, launching and tracking sites he has visited and diagrammed certainly were NOT for handling the "standard" 500lb conventional-warhead rocket launched against London. Thank God these sites were overrun before they became fully operational, and that the German nuclear program failed to deliver a workable device. The posited Japanese attack on the US West Coast in late 1945 is also quite plausible. Predictably, most people who accept the history of the Second World War as it has been spoon-fed to them will have a hard time digesting Henshall's message of what very well might have occurred, had the Axis powers had the luxury of more time.
