Join Speaker of the House Gingrich and fellow historian William R. Forstchen in a world that--save for Adolf Hitler's inexplicable folly in prematurely declaring war on the United States--would have been: seduction and betrayal, global strategy, secret weapons of the Luftwaffe, brilliant American ripostes to commando raids on American soil, the invasion of England, and more destruction.

The year is 1945. In Europe, the Third Reich reigns triumphant. The Soviet Union is a fragment of its former self, and Britain has accepted a dictated armistice. In the Pacific, after a brief, sharp war with Japan, America is the only significant military presence. Now the world's two superpowers eye each other warily across an Atlantic Ocean that daily grows smaller. The Big Show is about to start. . . .Who will win? The Americans with their formidable industrial base and superior logistical techniques--or the Germans with their science-fiction super weapons that turn out not to be fictional after all? Only one thing is certain: if America is beaten, this alternative Reich will last a thousand years. . . .

Newt Gingrich is a senior fellow at AEI.
