Peter Caddick-Adams

‘Brilliant and immersive.’
Harry Sidebottom

The second book in the Armchair General series, where YOU choose the fate of the First World War

________________________________

HISTORY IS WRITTEN BY THE VICTORS. WILL IT BE YOU?


TAKE THE HOTSEAT
Assume the role of real historic decision-makers: general, leaders, soldiers and intelligence officers of the Allied Forces during World War I.

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...?
