From the author of The Unnecessary War, 2026 Dragon Award Finalist.
Moscow has fallen. Stalin cannot speak. And the man who could end this war is not in it.November 1940. The German army holds Moscow. The Soviet government runs from a provincial city on the Volga, and the man at the head of it has had a stroke he will not admit to, in a room nobody is permitted to enter.
In Africa, Rommel is winning at the far end of a supply line that costs him more than the British do.
In London, a Prime Minister with no money and no allies discovers what he actually has left to sell.
And in Washington, a President who is not at war with Germany, and cannot get Congress to make him one, begins buying the world's edges instead.
This is the war as it is actually fought: in ration cards, fuel states, cargo manifests, and the one column a quartermaster keeps that is not on any form.
A Reichsbahn clerk receives four lines from the Chancellery, and eleven days of work nobody thought about. An Austrian tank gunner counts what the winter costs and writes it down. A signals officer at Bletchley Park watches a wireless strand go silent and understands, before anyone in London does, what the silence means. And on the Iranian frontier a battery commander fires for eleven minutes with the wrong ammunition, because his own capital told him he would never fight tanks.
On the twenty-third of July, 1942, at a railway halt in the Egyptian desert, the two halves of this war meet for the first time.
THE HUNDRED-YEAR REICH is the third volume of The European War, a companion series to The American War. Both series stand alone. Both converge.
