"The case he invites the reader to examine here is plausibly presented, well articulated, sound in terms of methodology and, ultimately, disturbing because it does look so promising.

"Grace presents readers with an alternate history of the allied invasion of France based on options explored and debated but ultimately ruled out in the preparations to open a second European front in World War II. The author has organized the main body of his text in eleven chapters, beginning with what would have most likely occurred had the Allies elected to invade the south of France first rather than North Africa and proceeding through the likely evolutions of the battles of the war in Europe from there to the ultimate conclusion. Alexander M. Grace, Sr., is an author, retired diplomat, Foreign Service officer, and teacher working in Florida." ~ProtoView
