    I saw some days ago, that the second part of the "Hot War"-triologie, "Fallout", was relative cheap on Kindle, and because the theme interessted me, I bought it.

  15. DBWI: What if Germany did better in the German-American wars.

    The three German-american wars between 1898 and 1903 are seen as a prelude to the Great War of 1906-1911.
