The premise
Same research. One decision changed.
The kit is right. The tactics are right. The rations, the ranks and the weather are right, because they come out of the same decade of research as the non-fiction. Only the decision at the top is different — and everything that follows from it.
This is alternate history written by someone who has spent ten years handling the real equipment and listening to the men who carried it.
