Alternate Generals III
by Harry Turtledove (ed.)

Description:
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. . . .
