Editorial Reviews
From Kirkus Reviews
Aaseng applies to military history his highly successful ``You Are...'' format (used previously for accounts of political history and sports), allowing readers to choose among options available to commanders in seven 20th-century battles. Playing no favorites among nations, he sympathetically presents the German campaigns against France in 1914 and Britain in 1940, the 1942 Japanese attack on Midway, the D-Day invasion, the U.N. defense of South Korea in 1950, the 1968 Vietnamese Tet Offensive, and Desert Storm. Each chapter provides sufficient background information followed by the likely prospects for three or four different courses of action and, finally, the real-life choice and its result. Aaseng makes it fun to practice making such far- reaching decisions without having to face real losses of life. Maps; photos; source notes; bibliography; index. (Nonfiction. 12+) -- Copyright ©1994, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excelant role-playing book, September 29, 2001
By Eli (Hollywood, Ca. United States) - See all my reviews
I first saw this book in my school library and immeadiatley read it up. This book puts you in the shoes of some of the greatist military minds in history, including Eisenhower, Schwartzcoph, Hitler, and others. Fans of roll playing games will find this short read very enjoyable, especialy when you find out that, had YOU been in charge, Grmany would have won WWI. I recomend this book to anyone who likes history, especialy military history.
Note: This book is very short, so don't waste money on a purchase. Find it at a library instead
