The author of many books on the Second World War, Kenneth Macksey has investigated afresh the forces, resources, and options to each side in the summer of 1940. Providing it had been launched in July, he concludes, Operation "Sealion" could have been a feasible undertaking. Indeed, had Hitler accepted Kesselring's advice to invade Britain soon after Dunkirk (during the period considered by British Intelligence to be the most dangerous) the events described in this book might well have taken place. Kenneth John Macksey MC (1 July 1923-30 November 2005) was a British author and historian who specialized in military history and military biography, particularly of the WWII. Macksey was commissioned in the Royal Armoured Corps and served during WWII (earning a Military Cross). Macksey retired from the Army in 1968. Amongst many books, Macksey wrote a volume of alternate history, entitled Invasion, which dealt with a successful invasion of England by Germany in 1940. In June 1940, as German troops massed across the Channel, poised for the invasion of Britain, Hitler seemed ready for his greatest gamble. In this compelling alternate history the Germans actually launch the invasion. Landing between Dover and Hythe, German troops push inland, supported by the Luftwaffe and the panzers, and strike toward London. A classic and harrowing insight into how Britain's war might have gone.
