    About this ebook

    Just as Fox on the Rhine and Fox at the Front showed readers an alternate Europe in which Hitler had been killed, thereby radically changing the course of World War II, Douglas Niles and Michael Dobson bring us the Battle of Midway with a very different outcome.

    The Allies are wildly out maneuvered and sent home in disgrace. Back in the States things are looking rather grim as the ultra-secret Manhattan Project runs into snafus that greatly delay the final production of the atomic bomb.

    President Roosevelt's approval ratings drop dramatically. Congress is desperate and the country cries out for a hero.

    That hero might just be Douglas MacArthur, who vowed that he would return to his beloved Philippines. He plans to do so with the backing of the entire US Armed Forces.

    MacArthur's plan of action is simple: take the war back to the Japanese, island by bloody island, until standing on the shores of Japan, he can proclaim victory.


    And possibly gain the leadership of the United States as well.

    • 2/5
      disappointing alternate history set in the Pacific during WWII. Anticlimactic ending was a negative for me.
    • 3/5
      This is a follow-on to the two authors books about Rommell and Patton fighting a different war in Europe than the one that we all studied in Europe. However, this one doesn't take place in that same universe, although obviously many of the same characters appear in both (Patton, for example). In this world, and in this version of the war between the United States and the Japanese Empire - as well as the war between the Army (in the form of MacArthur) and the Navy (in the form of Admirals Nimitz and King) for the leading role in the war against Japan. Having clearly done their homework, the authors proceed to tell us how MacArthur fights the war against Japan (and the US Navy), and how this all plays out against the ongoing developments at home, in the White House, and in the other theatres of the war. This is an entertaining read, though I personally consider slightly below the high marks the authors set in Fox on the Rhine and Fox at the Front.
