A stroke of the pen and history is changed. In 1938, British prime minister Neville Chamberlain, determined to avoid war at any cost, signed the Munich Accord, ceding part of Czechoslovakia to Hitler. But the following spring, Hitler snatched the rest of that country and pushed beyond its borders. World War II had begun, and England, after a fatal act of appeasement, was fighting a war for which it was not prepared.
Now, in this thrilling, provocative, and fascinating alternate history by Harry Turtledove, another scenario is played out: What if Chamberlain had not signed the accord? What if Hitler had acted rashly, before his army was ready - would such impatience have helped him or doomed him faster? Here is an action-packed, blow-by-blow chronicle of the war that might have been - and the repercussions that might have echoed through history - had Hitler reached too far, too soon, and too fast.
Turtledove uses dozens of points of view to tell this story: from American marines serving in Japanese-occupied China to members of a Jewish German family with a proud history of war service to their nation, from ragtag volunteers fighting in the Abraham Lincoln Battalion in Spain to an American woman desperately trying to escape Nazi-occupied territory - and witnessing the war from within the belly of the beast.
A novel that reveals the human face of war while simultaneously riding the twists and turns that make up the great acts of history, Hitler's War is the beginning of an exciting new alternate history saga. Here is a tale of powerful leaders and ordinary people, of spies, soldiers, and traitors, of the shifting alliances that draw some together while tearing others apart. At once authoritative, brilliantly imaginative, and hugely entertaining, Hitler's War captures the beginning of a very different World War II - with a very different fate for our world today.

The most grating thing is his pronouncing the final "s" in the pejorative "bosches" for Germans. His other errors are frequent enough to seriously distract from the story. I admit that in the later books someone has told him about some of his errors ("submariner" comes to mind) but he continues to mispronounce others.
It's a shame, his repertoire of voices makes it easy to recognize different characters, if only he didn't have this flaw...
If only Nelson knew how to pronounce words

Would you consider the audio edition of Hitler's War to be better than the print version?
With the narration like this it is really expirience to listen to story. The second narrator in otjer parts of the saga is also very good. Highest raking for the narration ans strory.Really good

Wonderful story

The editing leaves no gaps between chapters, and in combination with the narrator, means it’s often hard to figure out which character’s part of the story is happening.
Not as “alternate history” as his others

A bit to slow and does not pull you in like of Turtledove's books. I have started it twice and put it down. But if you like his other books you may want to give it a try.Not his best work
