EXAMINE THE INTELLIGENCE Explore eight key moments from the First World War, using real contemporaneous intelligence: including the July Crisis, the Battle of the Somme, and the Russian Revolution. CONSIDER THE SCENARIO & MAKE YOUR DECISION From battlefields to the Royal Courts, each tactical and strategic decision you make leads to a different outcome. Will you follow the path of the past - or shape a new history...? ________________________________ PRAISE FOR THE ARMCHAIR GENERAL SERIES 'An original and exciting approach... The Armchair General adds enormously to our understanding of the conflicts' JAMES HOLLAND 'A reminder that history is a never ending now, a relentless and endless present that comes without the luxury of hindsight' AL MURRAY 'Wonderfully original... putting readers at the heart of the decision-making process and allowing them, literally, to change the course of history. This is counterfactual history at its very best' SAUL DAVID
