"The Damned" questions of the Great Patriotic War

Could the Wehrmacht have taken Moscow in the autumn of 1941 and won the war? What if Manstein had broken through to Stalingrad to help Paulus's army, and Zhukov had achieved a decisive victory in the "Rzhev meat grinder"? Could the tank battle at Prokhorovka have been avoided and the Germans defeated on the Kursk Bulge with less bloodshed? Did the Red Army have a chance to capitalize on success after Operation "Bagration" and end the war in 1944?
Anyone interested in World War II has surely pondered these "accursed questions," yet in professional circles, the study of historical alternatives is considered unserious and disreputable—not befitting a respected scholar, unless perhaps a science fiction writer. This book by a leading military historian proves otherwise, elevating the game of "what if" to the level of academic science and addressing the most complex and controversial questions of the Great Patriotic War.
