Arthur A. Edwards was a naval officer and veteran of the Korean conflict who grew up in Northern California during the Depression and World War II. He studied warfare at the University of California, Berkeley, and has a library full of history books.
He is descended from a long line of veterans; two of his great-grandfathers served in the Union Army during the Civil War: a grandfather who tried to enlist in the Spanish-American War and a father who served in the Navy twice, once just as World War I ended and again in World War II.

En “La guerra que casi perdimos”, el autor explica cuán mal preparados estábamos para la guerra en 1941. Discute las áreas en las que podríamos haberlo hecho mucho mejor y cómo la responsabilidad podría haber sido compartida por muchos políticos y líderes militares.
El autor escribe sobre errores y meteduras de pata, así como movimientos brillantes realizados durante la guerra por ambos bandos que nos permitieron ganar, pero que casi nos cuestan la victoria. Una mejor planificación y ejecución por parte de los países del Eje podrían haber tenido efectos desastrosos en los Aliados. Pero al final, a través de un buen diseño, golpes de suerte y malas decisiones tomadas por nuestros enemigos, nos recuperamos y salimos adelante en la terrible guerra con colores voladores liderados por la “Generación más grande” de todos los tiempos.
[In the War We Almost Lost the author explains how badly we were prepared for war in 1941. He discusses the areas in which we could have done much better and how the responsibility could have been shared by many politicians and military leaders.
The author writes about mistakes and blunders as well as brilliant moves made during the war by both sides that allowed us to win, but almost cost us victory. Better planning and execution by the Axis countries could have had disastrous effects on the Allies. But in the end, through some good design, lucky breaks and bad-decision making by our enemies, we rallied and came through the terrible war with flying colors led by the “Greatest Generation” of all times.]
