Based on authentic history and real possibilities, this speculative narrative plays out the dramatic and grotesque consequences of a triumphant Third Reich. In this frighteningly plausible scenario, on 30 September 1941, the Germans fight their way into the ruins of Moscow and the Soviet Union collapses. Although Russian resistance continues, German ambition multiplies after this symbolic success. They launch offensives in Africa, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Hitler's armies, confident of victory, realise their Führer's dreams, and the Allies' hopes for recovery seem almost hopelessly lost. With a compelling blend of actual history and alternative events, The Moscow Option is a chilling reminder that history could easily have turned out very differently.
