Defending Berlin: A WW2 Alternate History Novel

April 1945. The road to Berlin lies open, defended by old men, boys, and a handful of battered divisions that exist mostly on paper.

In our history, Eisenhower chose not to take it, leaving the capital to fall to the Soviets alone and setting the terms of a divided Europe that would last fifty years. Here, he crosses the Elbe.

As American armor races east against crumbling resistance, Churchill gets the handshake with the Russians he always wanted — and Stalin gets a betrayal he will not forgive. Concentration camps are liberated days sooner. Refugees reach Western lines by the thousands. In the ruins of the Reich Chancellery, two armies that were supposed to meet as allies instead eye each other as the first rivals of a war that has not yet been named.

A sweeping, meticulously grounded reimagining of the war's final weeks and the peace that almost wasn't, told through soldiers, diplomats, and civilians on both sides of a line that was never supposed to be a border.

The ending of World War Two, rewritten.
