Small decisions. World-altering consequences.
That's the premise behind For Want of a Rivet, an anthology of eleven alternate history military stories that asks one deceptively simple question: what if a single invention, tactical choice, or quiet act of courage had gone differently?
These are stories about the human cost of invention, the weight of small advantages, and the soldiers, spies, and engineers who never made the official record.
Eleven contributors. One question. For want of a rivet, the war was lost - or won.
Stories include: Wings over Jutland (William Meinert) - Ace of Aces (Karl K. Gallagher) - Radio Waves (Joe Salem) - The Danzig Ghosts (Michael Patrick Coady) - The War They Could Not Print (Ross Hathaway) - Little Groups of Paratroopers (Bart Kemper) - Callis Caecus (Nick Aalderink) - Operation Unthinkable (Samuel A. Mayo) - Cuthbert's Silence (D. S. Ligon) - Axis of Alliance (G. Scott Huggins) - The Last Kamikaze (Robert Miller)
