If by chance / John Strawson. - London : Macmillan, 2003. - 260 stron : mapy ; 24 cm.
Could Napoleon have won the Battle of Waterloo? Or suppose Nelson had not destroyed the French fleet at Aboukir, would Napoleon have conquered India and become Emperor of the East?
What if Hitler had not halted his panzer forces before Dunkirk and had entrapped the entire British Expeditionary Force? How would Churchill have then defied the Wehrmacht?
In examining these and other contingencies, Major General Strawson brings his experience of command in war and his skill as a military historian to present us with a catalogue of chance and speculation, while emphasizing how profoundly the character of commanders influenced events and how events affected their character.
